(2011) Hossain, M. M.; Rahman, M. A.; Talukder, A. K.; Islam, M. S.
The study identified the common causes of organs and whole carcass condemnation of slaughtered sheep in a commercial abattoir in Bangladesh. A total number of 8046 sheep were slaughtered during the period from July 2007 to June 2008. Animals were undertaken into three ante-mortem inspections from arrival to slaughter. The first inspection was done immediately after unloading of animal, second during resting of the animals and the last inspection was performed before slaughtering of the animals. A total number of 703 organs from carcasses were condemned due to several reasons. The liver (42%) and lungs (39.1) were the most condemned organs in sheep. Fascioliasis was the leading cause of liver condemnation in sheep (86.8%). Pneumonia was the main cause of lung condemnations at the rate of 54.5% in sheep. Hydatidiosis caused both liver (6.4%) and lungs (40%) condemnation in sheep. Abscess was also responsible for organ condemnation affecting liver (6.8%), lungs (5.5%) and kidney (30.8%) in sheep. The major cause of muscles condemnation of sheep were due to cystocercosis (75.0%) and grass seed poisoning especially sorghum poisoning (25.0%).Grass seed poisoning was the only cause that was responsible for three sheep carcass whole condemnation. The results of the present study concluded that liver and lungs were the mostly affected organs to be condemned caused by mainly fascioliasis and pneumonia in sheep and grass seed poisoning was the single cause for whole carcass condemnation in sheep
PARAMETERS OF CONDEMNATION OF ORGANS AND CARCASSES IN SLAUGHTERED CATTLE AND GOATS OF COMMERCIAL ABATTOIR IN BANGLADESH
(Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System (SAURES), Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2011-01) Hossain, M. M.; Islam, M. K.; Rahman, M. A.; Talukder, A. K.; Islam, M.
This study identified the common causes of condemnation of slaughtered cattle and goat in a commercial abattoir in Bangladesh. A total of 8,604 cattle and 27,699 goats were slaughtered for the period of July 2007 to June 2008. All the procedures of standard abattoir were followed to get hygienic meat. Ante-mortem examination and postmortem inspection was done with due attention. In cattle liver and lungs are first list organs for condemnation and incidence of affection is 78% in liver and 19.3% in lungs. Fascioliasis is the leading cause of liver condemnation in cattle (75.5%). Hydatidosis affection found both in liver and lungs but the incidence rate is higher in lungs. Abscess is also a disease responsible for organ condemnation particularly in liver (1.4%), lungs (6.1%) and kidneys (I. I%). In goats, a total of 7,278 organs were condemned due to several diseases or conditions namely fascioliasis, hydatidosis, cysticercosis, abscess, pnemonia and tumor. Among them 5,55 I cases were liver (76.3%) and 1,296 cases were lungs (17.8%). Fascioliasis is the leading cause of liver condemnation in goat (94.8%) where pneumonia is for lungs condemnation (69.5%) in goat. However hydatidosis cause both liver (4.6%) and lungs (23.2%) damage at the point of condemnation. Liver, lungs and kidneys abscess are responsible for organ condemnation. Cysticercosis (16.3%), gluteal abscess (15.6%) and grass seed poisoning (6.4%) are also the causal factors of condemnation. The results suggested that the highest incidence of organ condemnation is found in liver and lungs caused by fascioliasis and pnemonia in cattle and goats respectively and grass seed poisoning is the single cause for whole carcass condemnation in goat. The results of the present study concluded that liver and lungs are organs of various affections and mandatory to condemn.
