Abstract

A cross sectional study was carried out from November 2021 to April 2022 with aim to identify the major cause of organ condemnation, associated risk factors and to estimate direct financial losses attributed to the condemned organ in cattle slaughtered at Chiro Municipal abattoir, Eastern Ethiopia. Prior to slaughter, animals were subjected to anti and post mortem examination to identify physical abnormalities and gross pathological lesions responsible for organ condemnation. During ante mortem examination, in 75 (19.3) cattle various types of abnormalities were detected include; lacrimation (2.6%), pale mucus membrane (3.09%), nasal discharge (2.9%), hernia (1%), salivation (0.8%), lameness (1.8%), emaciation (0.41%), depression (1%), blindness (0.41%), local swelling (0.27%) and rough hair coat (2%). Out of 384 cattle examined 185 (48.2%) were animals positive from which different organ condemned during postmortem inspection. Among organs examined, 105 (27.3%) livers, 55 (14.3%) lungs, 18 (4.68%) hearts and 7 (1.8%) kidneys were condemned. Major pathological conditions that caused a total condemnation of organs were fasciolosis (14.6%), hydatidosis (9.38%), cirrhosis (6.25%), calcification (2.6%), emphysema (2.34%), percarditis (2.6%), hydronephrosis (1.7%), and pneumonia (4.09%) Cystcercus bovis (0.5%) and abscess (1.56%). Organ condemnation rates show significant difference (P < 0.05) among age group, origin of Animals and status of body condition. The total financial loss estimated in this study, due to organ condemnation was 138,784.00 ETB per annum. Therefore, the observation of such level of abnormalities and substantial financial loss with condemnation of affected organs warrants the veterinary institution to design appropriate control measures.
