A cross-sectional survey of bovine hydatidosis was conducted on cattle and sheep slaughtered at Mizan Aman city administration Municipal Abattoir from April, 2019 to June, 2019 to determine the prevalence and cyst characterization caused by hydatid disease. No statistical significant variation was observed with regards to place of origin and age of the animals [P > 0.05]. After postmortem examination, hydatid cysts were collected and cyst characterization was conducted. Out of a total of 438 animals examined, 41[10.68%] harboring one or more hydatid cyst. The result obtained from Postmortem examination indicated that the lung was the most commonly affected organ followed by liver. From the total of 41 cysts counted, 9[21.95%], 15[36.58%], 17[41.46%] were large, medium and small respectively and 6[14.63%], 30[73.17%] and 5[12.19%] were fertile, sterile and calcified respectively.
