In this context, animal cysticercosis poses serious problems within production systems. Cysticercosis caused by\n                    <jats:italic>Cysticercus tenuicollis<\/jats:italic>\n                    (larval stage of\n                    <jats:italic>Taenia hydatigena<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) is common in pasture\u2010raised ruminants. Although this helminthiasis is of low pathogenicity for production animals, it is difficult to diagnose during inspection procedures. Animals become infected by ingesting eggs present in water and\/or feed contaminated with feces from domestic or wild canids. In this study, viscera from Dorper\/Santa In\u00eas crossbred sheep raised under a semiextensive system were evaluated in situ during four slaughter events in a slaughterhouse in the metropolitan region of Minas Gerais. Among 700 sheep slaughtered, 113 cysticerci were recovered and stored at 4\u00b0C for 3\u2009h. They were then subjected to evagination using 1% hydrochloric acid\/pepsin at 37\u00b0C for 10\u2009min. Stereomicroscopy revealed cysticerci measuring 0.6\u2009cm in length and 0.2\u2009cm in width when invaginated and ranging from 2 to 7\u2009cm in length and 1.5 to 8\u2009cm in width when viable and evaginated forms. A total of 25.7% of parasites were found in the liver and 74.3% in the omentum, mesentery, and associated tissues. Microscopy also allowed the observation of rostellar hook morphology regarding number, width, and total length of large and small hooks.
