The substantial rate of pulmonary lesions with a predominant rate of hydatidosis and emphysema resulted in a considerable rejection rate, implicating a critical public health concern. The significant rate of economic loss from this abattoir with low slaughter volume could indicate huge economic loss at the country level and the urgency of improving herd health management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/vmi\/7539360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]],"date-time":"2026-08-03T06:37:15Z","timestamp":1785739035000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Prevalence and Types of Gross Lung Lesions in Cattle Slaughtered at the Gondar ELFORA Abattoir: A Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7825-6386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Solomon","family":"Tsegaye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Birhan","family":"Getnet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1766-9889","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amare Bihon","family":"Asfaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci10030228"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.64347\/3064-707X\/GJIDHI.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.9734\/ajravs\/2024\/v7i1286"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_2","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":"Abera A.
