Description
Summary:	Objective: This retrospective survey has been performed to evaluate condemnation rate of poultry carcasses at 28 abattoirs of Tehran province, Capital of Iran. Material and Methods: All daily condemnation records were used as the sources of data. Results: In this survey 214,997,429 poultry were slaughtered and 705,046 (0.33%) poultry carcasses were condemned. Cachexia significantly (p<0.05) leads to carcass rejection in this survey and accounted for 46.57% of total condemnation rejection. Conclusions: This result implies that, in contrast with some other countries, Cachexia is the most frequent reason for poultry carcass condemnation in Iran. The average direct economic loss incurred annually as a result of condemnation of poultry carcasses was estimated as high as 1,621,605 USD.
