Prevalence of some foodborne parasitic affection in slaughtered animals in local Egyptian abattoir

The Slaughter house is the place in which the animals are slaughtered for human consumption. The Slaughter house plays important role in prevention of zoonotic diseases between animals and humans like Mycobacterium tuberculosis as reemerging foodborne illness and also prevent infectious diseases between animals. Bovine Mycobacterium tuberculosis is caused by a species of pathogenic Gram positive, acid fast stain bacteria in the Mycobacteriaceae family. the causative agent bacteria of Bovine tuberculosis as reemerging foodborne illness tuberculosis bacteria has an waxy cover on its surface primarily due to the presence of acid called mycolic which refers the cells impervious to Gram staining, and as a result, the causative agent bacteria of Bovine tuberculosis as reemerging foodborne illness may appear weakly Gram-positive. Acid-fast bacilli by using certain stains called Ziehl Nielsen, or through using stain called fluorescent such as aura mine are used to identify the cause of Bovine tuberculosis as reemerging foodborne illness with a microscope. The Bacteria cause Bovine tuberculosis as a reemerging foodborne illness is aerobic bacteria and needs high concentrations of oxygen. Mainly this bacteria is pathogenic to human and mammal's respiratory system, it infects the lungs. The most diagnostic means for Bovine tuberculosis as a reemerging foodborne illness are the tuberculin skin examination, stain of acid-fast, laboratory culture, and through using polymerase chain reaction method.

The thorough examination of animal carcasses and organs intended for human consumption is crucial for food safety. However, it is not always conducted adequately due to time constraints during the slaughter process. A cross-sectional study was undertaken to identify the key reasons for the rejection of edible offal in slaughtered animals at El-Qurein slaughterhouse in Sharkia province, Egypt, and to evaluate the associated economic losses during the period from August, 2020 till July, 2021. The study examined 1,218 organs (406 livers, 406 lungs, and 406 hearts) from various animals (cattle, buffaloes, camels, sheep and goats), among which 138 organs (78 livers, 38 lungs, and 22 hearts) were rejected, primarily due to lesions caused by Cysticercus ovis, fascioliasis, Cysticercus tenuicollis, pneumonia, and hydatid cysts. The financial loss at the slaughterhouse due to organs rejection over the twelve-month period totaled 1,113,905.24 Egyptian pounds (equivalent to 71,865 USD). The high frequency of meat rejection and resulting financial impact exceeded the region’s local revenue. This study highlights the persistent prevalence of parasitic diseases, resulting in significant detrimental economic repercussions in Sharkia province, Egypt. Furthermore, the present work underscores the necessity for the development of an effective control program addressing the causes of meat rejection in the region.
