“…This finding was closer to 5.77% by Shegaw et al, (2009) in Mekelle and lower than 8.6% reported by Jembere, (2002) at Nazareth abattoir in Ethiopia. However, it was higher from the report of 4.2% by Monaghan and Hannan, (1983). There was statically significant difference (p = 0.037) in condemnation rate of kidneys among the body condition score groups.…”

A cross sectional active and retrospective abattoir survey was undertaken from November 2013 to April 2014, on cattle slaughtered at Dessie municipal abattoir with the aim of identifying the major causes of organ condemnation, risk factors for organ condemnation and estimating the financial loss attributed to the condemned organs in cattle slaughtered at Dessie municipal abattoir, North-East part of Ethiopia. Of the total 768 examined animals, abnormalities were detected in 82 (10.68%) during ante mortem inspection and 430 (55.99%) were animals from which organ condemned during postmortem inspection. From the total cattle slaughtered, 311 (40.49%) livers, 142 (18.49%) lungs, 39 (5.08%) kidneys, 34 (4.43%) hearts and 6 (0.78%) tongues were condemned due to various causes. Hydatidosis (22.13%), fasciolosis (20.18%) and cirrhosis (8.85%), hepatitis (4.43%), pneumonia (3.25%), abscess (2.6%), pericarditis (2.08%), edema (1.82%), hydronephrosis (1.43%), nephritis (1.04%) were the major identified causes from the lesions responsible for the rejection of organs. Statistically significant difference in organ condemnation rate was found between age (p = 0.000), body condition score (p = 0.000) and origin (p = 0.013) of animals. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two breeds although there was higher condemnation rate of organ in cross breed cattle. In the study, fasciolosis and hydatidosis were the major causes of organs condemnation. The direct financial loss from organ condemnation due to various reasons was estimated to be 122,617.70 Ethiopian Birr (6,288.08 USD) per annum. Hence, commencement and implementation of prevention and control measures are must so as to secure from the financial loss they cause.

“…At necropsy, chronic nephritis, fibrosis of the epididymis and sarcosporidiosis were also found. Monaghan and Hannan [18] reported kidney lesions, including focal nephritis, as a common finding in slaughtered bulls. The additional pathologic conditions found in the presented case are most likely not related to MAP infection but could have been secondary to a general weakness and increased susceptibility of the host due to mycobacterial infection [11].…”

Paratuberculosis (Johne's disease) has emerged as one of the most important diseases in cattle. The role of infected bull semen in the spread of infection remains unclear, as the correlation between the amount of excreted Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (semen and feces) and the infection load (blood and tissues) has not been defined. The aim of the present study was to study by culture, and a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, the presence of bacteria in consecutive semen, blood, and fecal samples collected from one infected Piedmont breeding bull during a 380-day period. Five out of seven blood samples and all nine semen samples were positive in the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction with 10¹ to 10² and 10² to 10⁴ copies of IS900/F57 per ml, respectively. In all, there were 9 fecal culture positive samples with too numerous to count colony forming units and positive real-time quantitative polymerase chain reactions ranging from 10⁵ to 10⁷ copies of IS900/F57. After the bull was euthanized, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis was cultured from various parts of the small and large intestines, liver tissue and lymph nodes and from the epididymis and vesicular glands. The results demonstrate a wide extraintestinal distribution of the bacterium and that breeding bulls should be considered a source of paratuberculosis infection due to their contact with other breeding bulls and a high number of heifers and cows through the natural mating process.

“…Focal interstitial nephritis is the most frequently encountered lesion in bovine kidney disease in abattoir surveys. In such cases, the disease is characterized by scattered, macroscopic greyish‐white foci (white‐spotted kidneys) in slaughtered cattle (Monaghan and Hannan, 1983; Skilbeck et al., 1988). The lesions of focal interstitial nephritis in adult cattle have been attributed to infections with Leptospira interrogans (Hadlow and Stoenner, 1955; Burdin, 1963; Amatredjo et al., 1976) based on cultural and/or serological evidence.…”

This study was designed to investigate the role of leptospirae in interstitial nephritis. Sixty-eight white-spotted kidneys and 30 grossly normal kidneys from slaughtered cattle were examined histologically and immunohistochemically for the presence of Leptospira interrogans antigens. The presence of L. interrogans antigens was found in 21 of 68 white-spotted kidneys and in four of 30 normal kidneys. In conclusion, the detected incidence of infection with L. interrogans was not high, but there was a relationship between the presence of interstitial nephritis and leptospiral antigens.
