Necropsy

It is the study of the body of a dead animal in order to clarify the causes of its death. In the case of the pigs, the necropsies are normally performed at the farm, although sometimes, the body of the dead animal is sent to a specialized laboratory. In order to perform a good necropsy, we must inspect the outer and the inner appearance of the animal. This implies opening it in order to study the possible internal abnormalities. In human medicine it receives the name of autopsy.
