A cross\u2010sectional study followed by simple random sampling was conducted from December 2021 to May 2022 to identify the major causes of edible offal condemnation and to estimate the financial losses attributed to edible offal condemnation in cattle slaughtered at Bahir Dar municipal abattoir, northwestern Ethiopia, using\n                      <jats:italic>antemortem and post\u2010mortem<\/jats:italic>\n                      examination.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Out of 334 cattle investigated, 3.6% (12\/334) cattle showed detectable abnormalities including diarrhoea in 0.6% (2\/12), lameness in 0.9% (3\/12) and tick infestation in 1.2% (4\/12), and nasal discharge in 0.9% (3\/12) in cattle during an\n                      <jats:italic>antemortem<\/jats:italic>\n                      examination. However, in post\u2010mortem examination, 22.16% (74\/334) of cattle revealed lesions in visceral organs including the liver (14.6%), lung (9.9%), kidney (1.8%), heart (2.4%) and tongue (0.9%). The major causes that were identified in the current study include calcification, fasciolosis, hydatid cyst, cirrhosis, abscess, pneumonia, haemorrhage, emphysema, congestion, pericarditis,\n                      <jats:italic>Cysticercus bovis<\/jats:italic>\n                      , nephritis and renal calculi.
