    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Animal Science

    Background:

    • Necropsy is essential for diagnosing diseases in food-producing animals.
    • Standardized procedures ensure consistent and accurate post-mortem examinations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a fundamental, step-by-step necropsy protocol for food-producing mammals.
    • To provide visual guidance for prosectors through abundant figures.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed description of a systematic necropsy process.
    • Inclusion of numerous figures to illustrate each step.

    Main Results:

    • A clear, reproducible necropsy procedure is established.
    • Visual aids enhance understanding and application of the protocol.

    Conclusions:

    • This foundational necropsy method serves as a primary reference.
    • Subsequent publications will introduce alternative necropsy techniques.
