In the fourth installment of the manual, we address examining the thoracic cavity organs.

In the first two installments, we covered necropsy in lateral decubitus. In this third installment, we will look at necropsy in the supine position

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.

Since 1998, IFIP has had an experimental farm located in Romillé, Brittany, France, which allows them to run all types of trials at all stages of production.

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.

There are many types of boot racks in the market, but we can build one ourselves with something available on any farm: a pallet.
