Abstract

The haemoparasitemia of cattle slaughtered in three abattoirs in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria were determined between the months of March and May, 2013. Blood samples were obtained from 180 apparently healthy cattle from three abattoirs (Bodija, Akinyele and Olorunsogo), using standard field and laboratory techniques. An overall parasitemia of 6.67% accounting for 12 positive cattle out of 180 cattle examined was recorded. Abattoir-specific prevalence indicated 3.33%, 2.22% and 1.11% for Bodija, Akinyele and Olorunsogo abattoirs respectively. The three species of parasites identified showed prevalences of 3.81%, 2.22% and 0.56% for Trypanosoma brucei, Babesia bigemina and Theileria parva respectively. Sex- related parasitemia revealed that females had higher prevalence 8(4.44%) than males 4(2.22%) which was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Breed-specific prevalence showed 2.78%, 2.22% and 1.67% for Sokoto Gudali, Red Bororo and White Fulani respectively, which was statistically significant (P<0.05). This study provides information on the haemoparasitism status of cattle that arrive for slaughter in Ibadan metropolis and calls for more control/preventive measures to eradicate haemoparasites to enhance more wholesome beef for the general populace.

尼日利亚奥约州伊巴丹市三个屠宰场牛血寄生虫流行情况
2013年3月至5月期间确定了尼日利亚奥约州伊巴丹三个屠宰场屠宰的牛的血寄生虫病。采用标准的现场和实验室技术,从三个屠宰场(Bodija、Akinyele和Olorunsogo)的180头明显健康的牛身上采集了血液样本。调查的180头牛中有12头呈阳性,总体寄生虫率为6.67%。Bodija屠宰场、Akinyele屠宰场和Olorunsogo屠宰场的特异性患病率分别为3.33%、2.22%和1.11%。3种寄生虫的检出率分别为3.81%、2.22%和0.56%,分别为布鲁氏锥虫、双雌巴贝斯虫和细小伊氏菌。性相关寄生虫病女性患病率(4.44%)高于男性患病率(2.22%),差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。Sokoto Gudali、Red Bororo和White Fulani的品种特异性患病率分别为2.78%、2.22%和1.67%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。这项研究提供了在伊巴丹市屠宰的牛的血液寄生虫状况的信息,并呼吁采取更多的控制/预防措施来根除血液寄生虫,以便为普通民众提供更健康的牛肉。
