11. ESTIMATED ANNUAL ECONOMIC LOSS (ksh) The economic loss has been calculated on the basis of wholesome and intact visceral organs i.e. Lung and liver. The average price of each organ was Ksh.180 and 300 respectively in the year 2010. Annual Loss Ao = (Nps × Pv × Clv) + (Nps × Pu × Clu) ( Yemane, 1990 ) Nps : Total number of Livers , Pv: Prevalence of liver diseases/conditions , Pu: Prevalence of lung diseases/conditions , Clv : Cost of Liver , Clu : Cost of Liver Annual Loss (Ao)= (515 × 0.412 × 300) + (387 × 0.309× 180) = Ksh 85,289 (≈ $ 1200)
Butchers, who are to operate new slaughter facilities and butcheries, must also be trained in slaughter techniques and in meat cutting and hygiene. Mkombozi: comparison of goodmeat and condemned.
Routinely, meat inspectors carry out antemortem examination of all animals presented for slaughter a day before or shortly prior to slaughter. This is followed by postmortem meat inspection involving visual examination, palpation and systematic incision of carcasses and visceral organs particularly, lungs, liver, kidney, heart and spleen
2003 clinically healthy cattle were inspected in 2010
might be due to contact between large numbers of stray dogs with the herd and humans in the study area. Dogs, which are the primary predisposing factor for the disease transmission are used as guards for herds and are routinely fed with uncooked offal which deemed unfit for human consumption (Mezgebu, 2003) The liver and lung are the most commonly infected organs. This could be due to the fact that lungs and livers posses the first great capillaries sites encountered by the migrating echinococcus oncosphere (hexacanth embryo) which adopt the portal vein route and primarily negotiate hepatic and pulmonary filtering system sequentially before any other peripheral organ is involved. In addition, the lungs were predominantly infected with hydatid cyst than any other organ probably due to the presence of greater capillary beds in the lungs than other organs which is in agreement with Kebede et al. (2009).
