In southern Ethiopia, and specifically in Jinka, there is limited information on the causes and financial repercussions of this issue.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objectives<\/jats:title>\n This research aims to fill that gap by pinpointing the main pathological causes and calculating the economic losses associated with cattle slaughtered at the Jinka Municipal Abattoir.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n A cross\u2010sectional study was carried out on 384 cattle at the Jinka Municipal Abattoir to identify the primary reasons for organ condemnation and to estimate the direct financial losses from condemned organs. Ante\u2010mortem examinations were conducted to evaluate clinical signs and body condition, while post\u2010mortem inspections identified lesions leading to organ condemnation. Descriptive statistics were employed to determine prevalence and estimate economic losses based on local organ market prices. A chi\u2010squared test was used to examine the relationship between outcomes and risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Among the 384 cattle assessed, 46.5% exhibited clinical abnormalities during ante\u2010mortem inspection, with depression and nasal discharge being the most prevalent (12.2% each). Most cattle had medium body condition scores (43.8%). Post\u2010mortem inspections revealed that 18.6% had condemned organs, primarily livers (7.8%), lungs (5.0%) and hearts (2.6%). Fasciolosis, bruising and abscesses were the leading causes. Organ condemnation rates did not show a statistically significant difference (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u00a0>\u00a00.05) with age, origin and body condition score. The estimated annual financial loss amounted to 56,150 Ethiopian Birr.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Fasciolosis and other preventable conditions are significant contributors to organ condemnation and economic loss at the Jinka Municipal Abattoir. Enhancing animal health practices, conducting regular veterinary checks and ensuring proper disposal of condemned organs are crucial to minimizing losses and preventing the transmission of zoonotic diseases.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/vms3.70878","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,13]],"date-time":"2026-03-13T14:44:56Z","timestamp":1773413096000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Major Causes of Organ Condemnation and Their Financial Losses in Cattle Slaughtered at Jinka Municipal Abattoir, Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6282-3534","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yebelayhun","family":"Mulugeta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science Jinka University Jinka Southern Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Said","family":"Mohammed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science Jinka University Jinka Southern Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashagrie","family":"Ayelaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science Jinka University Jinka Southern Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11648\/j.avs.20231104.11"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5455\/javar.2022.i599"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14202\/vetworld.2013.734-738"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","first-page":"31","article-title":"Major Causes of Organ Condemnation and its Financial Loss in Cattle in Gondar Elfora Abattoir, Ethiopia","volume":"9","author":"Amare A.","year":"2017","journal-title":"Research"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","first-page":"396","article-title":"Cause, Rate and Economic Implication of Organ Condemnation of Cattle Slaughtered at Jimma Municipal Abattoir, Southwestern Ethiopia","volume":"9","author":"Amene F.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Global Veterinaria"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","first-page":"50","article-title":"Major Causes of Organ and Carcass Condemnation and Its Financial Loss at Wacha Municipal Abattoir, SNNPR, Ethiopia","volume":"8","author":"Amsayas Tsolo A.","year":"2021","journal-title":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Biological Sciences"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/B:TROP.0000040934.32330.44"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","first-page":"104","article-title":"Gross Pathological Abnormalities and Related Economic Loss in Slaughtered Cattle at Dire Dawa Municipal Abattoir, Eastern Ethiopia","volume":"10","author":"Basore B.","year":"2019","journal-title":"European Journal of Applied Sciences"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","first-page":"150","article-title":"Major Causes of Organ Condemnation and Associated Financial Loss in Cattle Slaughtered at Hawassa Municipal Abattoir, Ethiopia","volume":"8","author":"Berbersa S.
