Abstract

Meat consumption continues to be intertwined with notions of social and economic prestige, although the context and significance of this association can vary widely depending on cultural, economic, and social factors. One of the biggest problems facing meat inspection in abattoirs in recent years is the need to identify, understand, and establish the collective data on the primary cause of condemnation of organs and carcasses. These data are important to reach an effective method to prevent losses in the meat sector and face the risks they pose due to the increasing rates of condemnation in slaughterhouses. The results showed that 157 condemned cases were recorded in cows, and the most affected organs were the liver and lungs, with a total prevalence of affection of 7.0 and 46.0%, respectively. While in buffaloes, 140 condemned cases and the highest lesions were in the liver and lung, with total prevalence affection of 22.14% and 54.29%, respectively. In sheep, 87 condemned cases were recorded with a total prevalence of 27.58% and 41.39% in the liver and lung, respectively. The results obtained in this study revealed that the lungs of cows, buffaloes, and sheep were the most organs condemned due to different abnormalities, followed by the liver. The variation in the results obtained was interacting with different factors in complex ways, leading to variation in the causes of condemnation, which leads finally to increase the loss in meat industry
