Abstract
Bovine paramphistomosis is one of the most important parasitic diseases of cattle causing mortality and production losses in various parts of Ethiopia. A cross sectional study was carried out in Fedis district from April 2019 to October 2020 to determine the prevalence of Paramphistomum and its associated factors in cattle slaughtered at Boko slaughter house. A total of 384 slaughtered cattle were selected by systematic random sampling and post-mortem examination of rumen and reticulum was conducted to check the presence or absence of adult Paramphistomum. The parasite was examined macroscopically and microscopically to appreciate the morphology. Of 384 examined cattle, the prevalence of Paramphistomum was recorded in 156(40.6%). Of the total 156 positive samples 52.34%, 33.06% and 14.6% were infected with Paramphistomum clavula, paramphistomum cervi and mixed infection respectively. In this study, highest rate of infection was recorded in wet season. Among assessed factors; body condition and origin of animals was significant variation (P < 0.05) with infection.This finding indicated the highest infection of paramphistomum was recorded cattle. Therefore, the farmers should be practiced mass de-worming of animals using selected anthelmintic therapy for flukes.
