Читать книгу Veterinary Treatment of Pigs - Graham R Duncanson - Страница 116

The clinician needs to know if the pig was found dead or whether euthanasia was performed. It is useful to know how euthanasia was performed as shooting will damage the central nervous system (CNS) and lethal injections, if given into the heart, will damage the thorax. The length of time since death should be ascertained and how the body was managed in that time, i.e. fresh, chilled or frozen. The age, breed and weight should be recorded.
