ABSTRACT
This chapter has been added as a guide and contains suggestions for performing a complete necropsy on a pig. As prociency is gained with these techniques, individuals generally develop routine methods that best suit their work environment and practices. The techniques presented here are useful in an academic or research setting. Many laboratories already have necropsy standard operating procedures (SOPs) to guide and standardize sampling. The DVD attached with the textbook contains color images of gross necropsy techniques and histology of the various tissues.
