--- The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency and direct economic losses of bovine liver condemned at slaughterhouses due to fasciolosis. Records of the authorized abattoir for bovine slaughter of Huancayo province, 3259 meters above sea level, in the Peruvian central Andes, were evaluated. Registered data were obtained since September 2013 until December 2014. Thereafter, viscera condemned because of fluke disease were weighed to estimate the average weight. Risk analysis software @Risk® was used in order to estimate economic losses. Monthly frequencies of fasciolosis, the recorded monthly prices of each organ sold at the abattoir, and the average weight and its standard deviation were analyzed with beta, triangular and normal distribution, respectively. Economic losses were estimated by multiplying the number of liver condemned per viscera weight per its selling price. Additionally, a stochastic distribution model was performed with the intention of obtaining a distribution curve of the economic losses. The average weights of livers condemned was 4.19 ± 1.28 kg. The general frequency of livers condemned was 73.66% and the frequency of liver fasciolosis was 55.72%. There were no significant differences between the frequency of infected organs and sex of animals slaughtered. The estimated economic loss because of bovine fasciolosis was S/. 99,164.45 (CI95%: S/. 82,495.00 - S/. 116,110.00) or US$35,079.71 (CI95%: US$29,178.00 - US$40,938.00). The livers contribute to food security in the Andes because they are an economical protein source used in traditional Andean cuisine. Key words: Beta distribution, economic losses, food security, stochastic distribution, triangular distribution, viscera.
