A study to investigate the prevalence of cysticercus bovis in cattle slaughtered at Lafia Central abattoir was conducted. A total number of 300 cattle were sampled across breed (White Fulani =291; Sokoto gudali = 9), sex (females = 264; males = 36) and age (< 3 = 147; > 3 years = 153). The kidney, diaphragm, tongue, thigh muscle and heart of each animal was examined for the presence of cysticercus bovis. Out of the 300 cattle examined, 10 (3.30%) were infested with the parasite (Cysticercus bovis). Breed distribution showed that White fulani and Sokoto gudali cattle had 3.30% and 0.00% infestation rate respectively. Sex related prevalence rate was 2.7% and 0.70% for females and males respectively. Animals of < 3 years and > 3 years recorded 1.00% and 2.30% incidence of the parasite. The incidence of cysticercosis was only noticed on kidneys (2.0%) and tongues (1.3%) while no parasite was detected on diaphragm, thigh muscle and heart of the animals. The study confirmed the presence cysticercosis bovis in cattle slaughtered at Lafia Central abattoir. White Fulani, males and animals of 3 years and above are mostly affected than Sokoto gudali, females and animals below the age of 3 years in this study area. Kidney and tongue of cattle are the predilection sites compared to other organs. Good animal husbandry practices such as good sanitation as well as proper meat inspection and consumption of well cook cattle meat should be implemented so as to curtail the menace cysticercusis bovis.
