--- The aim of this study was to determinate the frequency of condemned organs due to cystic echinococcosis (CE) of bovines in the province of Huancayo and to estimate the economic loss due to this cause. It was evaluated the reports of the authorized slaughterhouse of Huancayo (3300 mals), since September 2013 to December 2014. In January 2015, it was determined the average weight of condemned organs due to CE, in order to estimate the economic losses, and it was evaluated the number of hydatid cysts per organ. The data was stratified in four four-month periods. It was made a multiplex logistic regression model with the sex and the frequency in four-month periods, and statistical differences were established between the numbers of hydatid cysts in the evaluated organs by Mann Whitney test. The frequency of CE was 42.8%, 37.9% in lungs, 12.8% in livers and 0.26% in hearth. Males showed less odd to have CE than female (OR: 0.73, p<0.001). May-August period showed less odd to present condemnation of viscera due to CE (p<0.001). Livers of more than 4 Kg showed more hydatid cysts per organ (p<0.05) than livers of less weight (2.5-3.7 Kg), 6.5±6.9 and 1.8±0.9, respectively. The animal age do not have influence in hydatid cysts per organ. The average weight of lungs, livers and hearts was 2.73±0.85, 4.23±0.97 and 1.0±0.5 Kg, respectively. The economic loss due to CE condemnation of organs was USD$15,301.0. This represents an important economic impact of animal CE in this geographic area. The lungs and livers contribute to food security in the Andes because they are a cheaper protein source used in traditional Andean cuisine. The condemnation of these products in slaughterhouses limits its supply on the market and increases the price of the suitable viscera. This work represents a baseline data for further studies. Key words: Bovines, livers, hydatidosis, hydatic cyst, slaughterhouse, lungs
