Abattoir survey of hydatidosis was conducted during routine meat inspection activity on randomly selected 384 cattle encountered at Bele Municipality Abattoir. Ante-mortem examination was conducted to note the breed, age, sex and body condition of study animals. These animals were given number in order to identify them during the postmortem examination. Post mortem examination was conducted to note the presence of hydatid cysts. A total of 56 (14.57%) cattle were affected with hydatid cyst. The study shows that there was significant variation in the prevalence of hydatid cyst in different peasant association (p<0.05). However, no such association was observed in prevalence of hydatid cysts according to sex, age, breed and body condition of slaughtered animals (p=0.499, p=0.086, p=0.613, p=0.140, respectively). The study period of the economic loss due to organ condemnation associated to bovine hydatidosis at the abattoir was estimated 6,720.00 Ethiopian Birr.
