Implication

Cross-sectional study estimates bovine hydatidosis prevalence, identifies risk factors, and quantifies economic losses in cattle.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, organ distribution, and economic losses associated with bovine hydatidosis in a specific abattoir.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional study on 384 randomly selected cattle at Woldia municipal abattoir from December 2024 to April 2025.
  • Performed ante-mortem inspections recording animal characteristics and post-mortem examinations to detect and characterize hydatid cysts.
  • Used logistic regression to analyze associations between infection rates and various risk factors.
  • Bovine hydatidosis prevalence was found to be 33.3% (95% CI 28.6–38.3).
  • Breed (crossbred cattle: aOR = 2.01, p = 0.017) and origin (Sanka district: aOR = 3.69, p = 0.039) were significant risk factors.
  • The total annual economic loss attributed to this disease was estimated at 1,863,502.27 ETB, primarily from carcass value reduction.
