The objective of this study was to establish the prevalence of hepatic fascioliasis in cattle slaughtered at the El Porvenir municipal slaughterhouse through a retrospective study. Information was collected from 46,252 cattle slaughtered between January 2017 and October 2023. The Chi2 test was performed to determine the association between the frequency of F. hepatica with the variables: place of origin, sex and year of evaluation. Likewise, a binary logistic regression was performed to evaluate the risk level of the variables. The results show a prevalence of 21.3% (9,852/46,252) of affected animals. Likewise, over the years a prevalence of 29.6% was shown, in 2017 and 7.4% in 2021, which is attributed to the temporary closure of the slaughterhouse due to an increase in Covid-19 cases; According to the provincial origin, Cajamarca with 30.5% and Santiago de Chuco, 25.1%; 22.5% and 20.1% in males and females, respectively. In addition, males presented a higher risk than females; Cajamarca reported the highest risk, in 2018 a lower risk was recorded, decreasing considerably in 2021. In conclusion, based on the years 2017 to 2023, a medium prevalence of hepatic fascioliasis has been observed, and in practice, this information is useful to provide specific prevention and control strategies in cattle in areas identified as high risk
