Investigation of the Prevalence of Hydatid Cysts and Liver Condemnation Losses in Sheep and Goats Slaughtered in Van Province, Türkiye

Öz

This study was conducted to determine the financial losses and distribution in internal organs caused by liver condemnation due to hydatid cysts in sheep and goats slaughtered in slaughterhouses in Van province of Türkiye. Hydatid cysts were detected in 247 out of 1200 sheep (20.58%) and 26 out of 150 goats (17.33%), totaling 273 animals (20.22%). According to organ localizations, hydatid cysts were most frequently seen in both the liver and lungs in 96 (39.52%) sheep and 9 (34.62%) goats, totaling 105 (38.46%) animals. It was determined that the prevalence of hydatid cysts in sheep and goats slaughtered in Van province was high. The high incidence of hydatid cyst infections in sheep and goats in Van province poses a risk to human and animal health in the region and causes significant financial losses. Therefore, studies should be carried out to prevent the spread of the disease and financial losses, and taking protective measures is essential.
