This guide is intended to aid swine veterinarians as they discuss the value of performing necropsies with their clients. Swine veterinarians can use this guide with clients to increase their understanding of proper necropsy techniques and resulting methods of diagnosis.

This atlas compiles clinical cases and images of pathological conditions. It will be very helpful for any vet needing to recognise macroscopical and microscopical lesions in sheep.

In this book we first propose the correct way to make a quick and complete necropsy which reveals the different organs and structures, offering a technique that can provide us with as much information as possible. Secondly, and directly connected with the necropsy process and maintaining both the orders and the observation plane, we show a significant number of lesions with their respective interpretations and possible relationships with one or more diseases.

En este libro se describe cómo realizar una necropsia rápida y completa, con una técnica que permite obtener la máxima información posible y que facilita la visualización de las lesiones para su correcta interpretación. Este protocolo de necropsia respeta los diferentes planos tradicionales de apertura y observación, así como de toma de muestras para estudios posteriores.
