Chronic, reactivated gastric ulcer - Atlas of swine pathology

Where:

Possible causes: Gastric ulcers

A crater-like appearance to the non-glandular region of the stomach with digested and undigested blood remaining. It is a chronic ulcer, but the animal's death was quick due to the bleeding caused by a reactivation from the tearing of blood vessels in the underlying granulation tissue. Gastric ulcers are multifactorial processes in which several factors, such as feeding, breed or genetic cross, stress factors, etc. can have an influence.
