Necropsy manual: Necropsy of a piglet in the supine position

After interpreting the lesions we must proceed to sample collection.

Histopathology can provide a strong framework to establish the real causality of a clinical problem.

In the fifth installment of the manual we address the examination of the organs of the abdominal cavity.

In this second installment, we cover extracting the tongue, trachea, lungs, and heart in one piece. We will extract the organs of the abdominal cavity, both the digestive system and the urinary and genital tracts. In the head, we will access the nasal turbinates, brain, and cerebellum.

This new section, coordinated by the pathological anatomy team of the University of Cordoba, Spain, will show us, in a very visual and practical way, how to perform a necropsy on a pig.
