Abstract

The prevalence of grossly apparent Sarcocystes and its relation to the analytic of infected meat was investigated in Alexandria abattoirs through a period of six month. A total of 172 native bread cattle were used for these studied. 40.12 of cattle under investigation were infected with Sarcocysts Fusiformis. The  incidence of different organs was highest in the esophagus (36.4%)  however the lowest rate was reported in the heart (13.0%). Infection with Sarcocysts Fusiformis lead to an increase in the moisture percent and pH value and a decrease in both protein and fat percentages, such effect seriously lower the meat quality.
