Abstract: Result of a study describing the magnitude and distribution of gross lesions compatible with bovine tuberculosis at Maiduguri abattoir encountered during routine meat inspection between 2000 and 2009 was determined. A total of 403,317 cattle were slaughtered during a 10 year period. Among those examined, 11,006 had gross lesions compatible with bovine tuberculosis. The distribution of suspected gross bovine TB lesions in different organs shows (67.8%) in the lungs, (13.9%) in the lymph nodes, (8.6%) in the liver, (3.8%) in the intestines, (4.0%) in the kidneys and (1.9%) accounted for generalised TB. There was no significant difference between two different season of the year and sex of cattle (p>0.05). This study highlights the importance of meat inspection. Measures for control are also been suggested.
