| Introduction & Objective: Protein is one of the important
nutritional groups of which the main source is domesticated
animals. Parasitic infection of these livestock is a threat to the
meat resources as well as trouble to health of the user. So, the
infection rate for zoon sis in each region can be an indicator for
the health of the people living in that region. Concerning the
geographical situation of Yasuj , tribal life and animal husbandry in
this region, there is the probability of prevalence of zoon sis. Thus
the present study has been done in order to investigate the
infection rates of slaughtered domestic animals in Yasuj industrial
slaughterhouse.
Materials & Methods: This study was carried out descriptively
and prospectively concerning the slaughter chart of the years
1380 and 1381 available in Yasuj industrial slaughterhouse and
the veterinary office of the kohgiloyeh and Boyerahmad province.
The information present in the charts were transferred to the
tables designed according to desired variables such as the kind
and the number of the slaughtered domestic animals, the kind of
the parasite, the number of the infected domestic animals, month,
season and the year. These information were analyzed
statistically.
Results: In this paper, the prevalence of Fasciola hepatica was
investigated and it was concluded that 27490 (14.4%)
domesticated animals out of the total number 190861 slaughtered
domestic animals including sheep, goats and cattle has been
infected by this parasite. Infection rate was (9.26%) . In general,
the highest prevalence rate was in the winter. The prevalence rate
of infection in sheep (17.71%) was higher than the one in cattle
(16.71%) and in goats (11.69%).
Conclusion: The infection rate for zoon sis is considerable in
Yasuj. So the separation of the infected domestic animals, the
omission of these infected bodies from the nutritional material
production cycle as well as the cure of the infected domestic
animals can play an important role in improving the public health.
These infections were mostly in winter and it is thought that,
concerning the life cycle of parasites, these infections are because
of the contamination of animals in spring and summer |
