To assess the major reasons for organ and carcass condemnations and their financial implications, we reviewed 10-year abattoir records of slaughtered bovines between January 2005 and December 2014 at Kombolcha ELFORA abattoir, north-east Ethiopia. Of the 46,913 cattle slaughtered during that period, 17,963 (38.3%) had at least one disease condition. Lungs (10.67%) and liver (25%) were the most affected and condemned organs, followed by heart (1.53%), head (0.56%), tongue (0.17%) and kidney (0.32%). The major conditions responsible for condemnation were fasciolosis (49.89%), hydatid cyst (55.55%), pericarditis (78.2%), hydronephrosis (35.8%), abscess (71.7%) and abscess (43.9%), in liver, lung, heart, kidneys, head and tongue, respectively. The direct financial losses incurred from organ and carcass condemnation over the 10-year period amounted to ETB 1,219,399 (USD 61,946.9), with parasitic diseases such as fascioliasis and hydatidosis accounting for ETB 256,837.5 (USD 13,047.64) and ETB 170,827.5 (USD 8678.23) in losses, respectively. This study describes a significant loss of cheap and reliable sources of protein due to non-utilization of infected organs or carcasses, emphasizing the need to implement integrated approaches in disease surveillance and control programmes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x1900004x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,7]],"date-time":"2019-02-07T05:21:23Z","timestamp":1549516883000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Parasitic infections as major cause of abattoir condemnations in cattle slaughtered at an Ethiopian abattoir: 10-year retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"D.","family":"Molla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7182-9540","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.","family":"Nazir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8425-0936","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.","family":"Mohammed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8537-4746","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T.","family":"Tintagu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref34","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4314\/evj.v21i1.5"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref33","first-page":"279","article-title":"Perception of the public on the common zoonotic diseases in Jimma, southwestern Ethiopia","volume":"5","author":"Regassa","year":"2013","journal-title":"International Journal of Medicine and Medical Sciences"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2221-1691(11)60190-1"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3923\/ajava.2015.147.160"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref26","first-page":"200","article-title":"Pathological conditions causing organ and carcass condemnation and their financial losses in cattle slaughtered in Gondar, northwest Ethiopia","volume":"4","author":"Mesele","year":"2012","journal-title":"African Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11250-008-9234-2"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.onehlt.2016.09.001"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref22","first-page":"797","article-title":"Hydatidosis in three selected regions in Ethiopia: an assessment trial on its prevalence, economic and public health importance","volume":"147","author":"Jobre","year":"1996","journal-title":"Revue de M\u00e9decine V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1645\/GE-2988.1"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4172\/2157-7579.1000419"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref36","first-page":"212","author":"Soulsby","year":"1982","journal-title":"Helminths, Arthropods and Protozoa of Domesticated Animals"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref35","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.20506\/rst.25.2.1677"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"734","DOI":"10.14202\/vetworld.2013.734-738","article-title":"Major causes of organ condemnation and economic loss in cattle slaughtered at Adigrat municipal abattoir, Northern Ethiopia","volume":"6","author":"Assefa","year":"2013","journal-title":"Veterinary World"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268899002630"},{"key":"S0022149X1900004X_ref18","unstructured":"Hailemariam SA (1975) Brief analysis of the activities of the meat inspection and quarantine division.
