The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency of liver trematode infections in animals slaughtered between 2008 and 2012 in the province of Elazığ and to determine the economic loss resulted from such infections.

The records of the 6 slaughterhouses located in the province of Elazığ were retrospectively reviewed. The whole sale price of the establishments was taken into account to calculate economic loss resultied from the condemnation of livers due to the presence of liver trematodes. Economic loss resulting from the diminishing yield could not be evaluated since we were unable to access there required data.

In the last five years, 125.297 cattle, 83.597 sheep, and 46.500 goats were slaughtered, and the frequency of Fasciola hepatica was reported as 7.94%, 7.89% and 5.64% in forementioned animals, respectively. The frequency of D. dentriticumwas 1.15% among sheeps and 1.39% among goats. Economic loss in the last five years resulted from the condemnation of the infected livers was 417.089 TL for F. hepatica and 6.090 TL for D. dentriticum, and a total of them was 423.179 TL. It was realized that the frequency of liver trematodes among the slaughtered animals in the last five years in Elazığ has increased compared to previous years, which has led to a 5.5-fold increase in the financial loss.
