Hydratidosis is a neglected tropical disease with public health concerns. It is caused by Echinococcus granulosus larvae and affects pastoralists and urbanites globally. A cross-sectional study studied hydatid cyst frequency in the municipal abattoir in Nekemte, Oromia, western Ethiopia. Pre-slaughter and routine meat inspections were done on 384 animals. Nekemte Municipality abattoir murdered native and crossbred zebu. Animals came from several districts. The study animals' lung, heart, liver, spleen, and kidney were randomly chosen. Pre- and post-mortems were scheduled three days a week. Hydatidosis was found in 24 (6.2% of 384) abattoir cattle the study area. Cattle with poor body conditions had 17.5% more hydatid cysts than those with favorable conditions (2.4%). Change was significant (p<0.05). Seven (7.7%) female and seventeen (5.8%) male cattle were present, but no connection (p > 0.05). animals older than five years (7.4%) showed a much higher frequency than younger animals (4.8%) (p > 0.05). Communities and breeds in the research area had similar hydratidosis rates (p > 0.05). The liver had 0.8%, heart 0.3%, and lungs 5.2% hydatid cysts. Recent research finds bovine hydatidosis widespread. Disease prevention and control are crucial in the research region because diseases impair livestock productivity and community health.
