Topic:Autopsy

Autopsy in horses involves the systematic examination of a deceased horse to determine the cause of death and to study any disease or injury that may have been present. This process, also known as necropsy, is performed by veterinary pathologists and involves a thorough inspection of the horse's body, including external and internal organs. During an autopsy, tissue samples may be collected for histopathological analysis to identify any microscopic abnormalities. The findings from an autopsy can provide valuable insights into equine health issues, contributing to the understanding of disease processes, informing treatment strategies, and improving management practices. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the methodologies, findings, and implications of autopsy in equine veterinary science.
