Abstract

Background: Hydatidosis is a parasitic zoonotic disease that causes risk to public health and economic losses due to organ condemnation and carcass weight reduction in developing countries.

Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2020 to June 2021 in Fedis District Boko slaughterhouse from to determine the prevalence and annual economic losses due to bovine hydatidosis.

Results: A total of 154 examined cattle via standard meat inspection procedures, the overall prevalence of bovine hydatidosis was 27 (17.5%). In this finding the prevalence of bovine hydatidosis was higher in animals with 33% in old than 8.2% in adult age groups. In the present study, the highest prevalence of 55% was recorded in animals with poor body conditions in medium and good. In this finding, statistically significant (p < 0.05) associations were observed between age groups and body conditions. The distribution of cysts per organ was significantly higher in lung 26 (43.2%) than in the rest of the organs examined. The total annual financial loss due to bovine hydatidosis in Fedis District was estimated to be 899, 430 ETB.

Conclusion and Recommendations: The present finding showed that bovine hydatidosis had huge Socio-economic impacts in the study area. Therefore, appropriate control and prevention measures such as community awareness on stray dog control and implementation of proper meat inspection procedures are recommended to reduce the incidence of the disease and to minimize the socio economic impacts of bovine hydatidosis.
