The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of Fasciola hepatica among sheep in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, by reviewing slaughter and liver condemnation data obtained from the Federal Inspection Service, affiliated with the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Supply, for years 2000 to 2005. Liver condemnation amounted to 14.57% (18,072/ 124,078) in 2000, 10.14% (11,998/118,332) in 2001, 10.96% (11,372/103,762) in 2002, 9.96% (10,802/ 108,461) in 2003, 5.42% (6,245/114,596) in 2004, and 2.27% (2,750/121,172) in 2005. The overall prevalence of liver condemnation due to F. hepatica corresponded to 8.87% (61.239/690.361). In conclusion, fascioliosis was found to be prevalent among sheep in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and to account for major economic losses to farmers, meat packing plants and to the government.
