Kastamonu Mezbahanesinde Kesilen Sığırlarda Cystic Echinococcosis’in Prevalansı ve Türkiye Ekonomisindeki Önemi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, büyükbaş hayvancılığın yaygın olduğu Kastamonu ilinde Belediyeye ait mezbahanede kesilen sığırlar-da Kistik Echinococcosis’in prevalansının araştırılması ve bu hastalık nedeniyle ülke ekonomisindeki ekonomik kaybın belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Ocak-Aralık 2021 tarihlerinde toplam 5511 adet sığır karaciğeri kistik echinococcosis yönünden postmortem olarak incelenmiştir. 5511 sığırın 3872 tanesi erkek, 1639 tanesi ise dişidir. Postmortem muaye-nede hayvanların karaciğerleri incelenmiş kistik echinococcosisli hayvan sayısının 524 olduğu ve hastalığın prevalansı-nın %9.51 olduğu hesaplanmıştır. Hayvanlarda aylık olarak en yüksek prevelans %14.85 ile Temmuz ayı, en düşük prevalans ise %3.94 ile Aralık ayı olarak görülmüştür. Kış mevsiminde %4.94 olarak en düşük, yaz mevsiminde %13.68 oran ile en yüksek Kistik Echinococcosis belirlenmiştir. Erkek hayvanlarda kış mevsiminde Kistik Echinococcosis sayısında %4.44 ile en düşük, %12.70 ile ise yaz mevsiminde en yüksek prevalans tespit edilmiştir. Hastalığın preva-lansı dişi hayvanlarda kış mevsiminde %6.79 olarak görülmüş, yaz mevsiminde ise %21.32 olarak belirlenmiştir. Kistik echinococcosisli karaciğerler enfeksiyon yoğunluğuna bakılmaksızın imha edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonucu olarak, 524 adet karaciğerin imhasıyla beraber 136240 TL (13859 USD) Türkiye ekonomisinde kayıp şekillenmiştir. Kistik echino-coccosisin Türkiye genelindeki gibi Kastamonu ilinde de yaygın olduğu ve büyük ekonomik kayıplara sebep olduğu açıklanmıştır.

Prevalence of Cystic Echinococcosis in Cattle Slaughtered in Kastamonu Slaughterhouse and Its Importance in Turkish Economy

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of cystic echinococcosis (CE) in cattle slaughtered in the slaughterhouse of Kastamonu Municipality, where cattle breeding is common and to determine the economic loss in the country's economy due to this disease. A total of 5511 bovine livers were examined postmortem for CE between January and December 2021. Of the 5511 cattle, 3872 are male and 1639 are female. In the postmortem examination, the livers of the animals were examined and the number of animals with CE was calculated to be 524 and the preva-lence of the disease was 9.51%. In animals, the highest monthly prevalence was observed in July with 14.85% and the lowest prevalence in December with 3.94%. CE was the lowest with 4.94% in winter and the highest with 13.68% in summer. CE was found to be the lowest in male animals with 4.44% in winter and the highest prevalence in summer with 12.70%. The prevalence of the disease in female animals was 6.79% in winter and 21.32% in summer. Livers with CE were destroyed regardless of infection intensity. As a result of this study, with the destruction of 524 livers, 136240 TL (13859 USD) was lost to the Turkish economy. It has been stated that CE is common in Kastamonu as in Turkey and causes great economic losses.
