| description | The study was conducted from December to April 2007/ 2008 in Hashim’s Ethiopian
Livestock and Meat Export (HELIMEX) abattoir at Debre Zeit, Luna and Modjo modern
export abattoirs at modjo. The aim of this study was to identify and determine the major
diseases of organ and carcass condemnation and to estimate the magnitude of the direct
losses attributed to the condemned organs and carcasses from sheep and goats
slaughtered in the abattoirs. Standard antemortem and postmortem inspection procedures
were followed through out the study. Antemortem inspection was carried out in the
lairage and abnormalities encountered were recorded, followed by postmortem
examination through their identification number to detect gross abnormalities and
aesthetic reasons that rendered each organ to be rejected from local and international
market. During the study a total of 229 sheep and goats and 229 organs and carcasses
were examined. The study revealed that 176 (76.8%) livers, 141 (61.5%) lungs, 47
(20.5%) hearts, 32 (27.5%) kidneys 27 (11.8%) brain and 28 (12.2%) carcasses were
rejected due to various causes. Hepatitis (23.9%), pneumonia (43.2%), pericarditis (10%),
nephritis (9.6%), oestrus ovis (8.3%) and bonny carcass (8.7%) were found to be the
major causes responsible for rejection. of respective organs and carcass. The annual loss
due to the rejection of organs and carcasses from the small ruminants slaughtered in the
export abattoirs is estimated at approximately 152,173.125 USD. Conclusions and
recommendations are forwarded regarding causes of organ/carcass condemnation and
resultant economic loss. |
