Cysticercosis is a worldwide disease that affects farm animals. This condition, in sheep and goats, results in economic losses especially due to the condemnation of edible offal or meat. In this concern, the aim of this study was to examine cysticercosis among the sheep and goats slaughtered at a slaughterhouse in Shahin Dej, west Azerbaijan Province, Iran. From 2023 to 2024, the cysticercosis prevalence in 250 sheep and 250 goats at the Shahin Dej slaughterhouse was determined. Data of animal species, sex, age and the type of cysticercosis infection were recorded. Out of a total of 500 sheep and goats carcasses examined, 34 carcasses (6.8 %) were infected with Cysticercus (21 carcasses (4.2 %) with with Cysticercus ovis and 13 carcasses (2.6 %) with Cysticercus tenuicollis). In this study female goats and sheep were more frequently infected than males (P<0.05). In addition, the infection rate was significant in different age groups of sheep and goats (P<0.05). Findings indicated high frequency of Cysticercus infection in sheep and goats in the studied region. Therefore, the control methods, such as proper disposal of infected tissues and anthelmintic treatment of infected dogs, are necessary to reduce contamination and prevent economic loss in small ruminants.
