Prevalence of zoonotic parasites reached 47.66% across four abattoirs, reflecting serious hygiene issues.
Among condemned organs, 29.95% were linked to Fasciola, while hydatid cysts varied in prevalence from 0.78% to 20.57%.
Analysis involved sampling 384 condemned organs, focusing on histopathological changes using hematoxylin and eosin staining.
