Abstract
This study aimed to estimate the annual production losses related to fasciolosis in water buffaloes in Türkiye. Some official data and prices were used in the analysis and the mean prevalence of disease in water buffaloes was calculated as 6.9% in Türkiye. Estimated loss analysis was performed for meat losses, milk losses, liver losses, and extended calving intervals. As a result, the total production losses were estimated as 897,644 $ in 2023 year current prices. The highest loss was estimated for the extended calving interval (386,790 $) and the lowest was for the condemned liver (42,976 $). In conclusion, the magnitude of the losses may provide the producers and policymakers with quantitative decision support for preventing and eradicating fasciolosis in water buffaloes in Türkiye.
