“…The nomadic nature of cattle and their herders has accelerated the spread of diseases, particularly fascioliasis. Despite the fact that there has been a lot of research done on bovine fascioliasis in recent years (Odigie and Odigie, 2013;Aliyu et al, 2014;Liba et al, 2017), the need for continuous monitoring of the infection cannot be overstated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of F. gigantica infection in cattle slaughtered in four abattoirs in Ikpoba/Okha LGA, Edo State, Nigeria, as well as the economic loss due to liver damage.…”

Fascioliasis is a common helminthes infection with Fasciola gigantica parasite in cattle raised in Nigeria, causing significant economic loss due to liver damage. The prevalence of Fasciola gigantica infection in cattle slaughtered in four abattoirs [government owned (GO) and three private (P1, P2, P3)] in Ikpoba/Okha LGA, Edo State, Nigeria, as well as the economic loss due to liver damage and condemnation, were studied over a 12-month period (February, 2020 – January, 2021). Of the 17941 livers examined, 1774 (9.89%) were infected (mean intensity, 12.45 parasites/infected liver). Of the infected livers, 1738 (9.69%) had light infection, while 36 (0.20%) were severely infected and condemned.The GO abattoir had the highest prevalence (18.14%), followed by the P1 (8.65%), P3 (3.44%), and P2 (2.14%) abattoirs. The differences in infection prevalence were highly significant (P<0.001). Throughout the survey, the GO abattoir had the highest monthly prevalence of fascioliasis, followed by P1, which had high infection in nine of the 12 months surveyed. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in seasonal infection. The financial loss due to liver condemnation in the four abattoirs totaled ₦237,600.00, with the highest loss of ₦171,600.00 recorded in GO abattoir. This study found that fascioliasis is still prevalent in cattle raised in Nigeria. As a result, it is critical to ensure that cattle are raised in conditions that minimize infection risk while also providing adequate inspection and treatment of infected cattle to reduce liver damage and the attendant economic losses. La fasciolose est une infection helminthique courante due au parasite Fasciola gigantica chez les bovins élevés au Nigéria, entraînant des pertes économiques importantes dues à des lésions hépatiques. La prévalence de l'infection à Fasciola gigantica chez les bovins abattus dans quatre abattoirs [appartenant au gouvernement (GO) et trois privés (P1, P2, P3)] à Ikpoba/Okha LGA, État d'Edo, Nigeria, ainsi que la perte économique due aux lésions hépatiques et condamnation, ont été étudiés sur une période de 12 mois (février 2020 – janvier 2021). Sur les 17941 foies examinés, 1774 (9,89%) étaient infectés (intensité moyenne, 12,45 parasites/foie infecté). Parmi les foies infectés, 1738 (9,69%) avaient une infection légère, tandis que 36 (0,20%) étaient gravement infectés et condamnés. L'abattoir GO avait la prévalence la plus élevée (18,14%), suivi du P1 (8,65%), P3 (3,44 %), et P2 (2,14 %) abattoirs. Les différences de prévalence de l'infection étaient hautement significatives (P<0,001). Tout au long de l'enquête, l'abattoir GO avait la prévalence mensuelle la plus élevée de fasciolase, suivi de P1, qui avait une infection élevée au cours de neuf des 12 mois de l'enquête. Il n'y avait pas de différence significative (p>0,05) dans l'infection saisonnière. La perte financière due à la condamnation du foie dans les quatre abattoirs s'est élevée à ₦237,600,00, la perte la plus élevée de ₦171,600,00 enregistrée dans l'abattoir GO. Cette étude a révélé que la fasciolose est toujours répandue chez les bovins élevés au Nigeria. Par conséquent, il est essentiel de veiller à ce que les bovins soient élevés dans des conditions qui minimisent le risque d'infection tout en assurant une inspection et un traitement adéquats des bovins infectés afin de réduire les dommages au foie et les pertes économiques qui en découlent.
