Mouse Necropsy.
Current protocols in mouse biology, 2015Co-Authors: Piper M Treuting, Jessica M SnyderAbstract:Necropsy (also known as autopsy) is the post-mortem dissection of bodies after euthanasia or death and is a scientific examination conducted to observe and dissect the organs, collect tissues, and determine the extent of grossly evident disease. Research necropsies are conducted to obtain specific samples tailored according to study objectives. Diagnostic Necropsy may be undertaken when unexpected illness or death occurs. The systematic collection of samples at Necropsy is the critical first step in generating morphologic data from animal models. The morphologic (anatomic and histologic) data generates information on changes in cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems providing context for phenotypes (functional and morphological) to the level of the whole organism. Optimal insight into phenotype or pathophysiologic mechanisms is obtained when morphologic data is coupled with laboratory, medical, and molecular findings. This protocol provides a standard for an efficient routine mouse Necropsy with brief comments on advanced or alternative techniques.

Procedures of Necropsy and Tissue Sampling.
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton N.J.), 2017Co-Authors: Laurence Fiette, Mohamed Slaoui, Anne-laure BauchetAbstract:Necropsy is a major step of most studies using laboratory animals. During Necropsy, tissue and organ noticeable grossly changes should be recorded and critical tissue samples may be stored for the subsequent evaluation. It is therefore important that the personnel in charge of this key experimental step to be adequately trained and aware of the study endpoints.

Necropsy and Sampling Procedures in Rodents
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton N.J.), 2010Co-Authors: Laurence Fiette, Mohamed SlaouiAbstract:Necropsy is a major step of most studies using laboratory animals. During Necropsy, tissue and organ changes noticeable grossly can be recorded, and important tissue samples can be stored for subsequent evaluation. It is therefore important that the personnel in charge of this key experimentation step be adequately trained and aware of the study endpoints.

Field Necropsy of the Horse
The Veterinary clinics of North America. Equine practice, 2015Co-Authors: Chad Frank, Dennis J. Madden, Colleen DuncanAbstract:Being able to conduct an equine field Necropsy in a safe and proficient manner is a helpful skill for the equine practitioner. Use of a systematic process enables the practitioner to develop a familiarity with normal anatomic positioning and tissue appearance such that abnormalities are quickly identified. This article outlines a systematic Necropsy protocol that can be used to investigate mortality events and clinical questions.

Feedlot Euthanasia and Necropsy.
The Veterinary clinics of North America. Food animal practice, 2015Co-Authors: Dee GriffinAbstract:Timely euthanasia of feeder cattle can minimize suffering of cattle that have little hope of recovery or pain abatement. Euthanasia techniques are described, including primary and secondary steps to ensure humane death. Considerations are discussed to ensure rendered product from euthanized cattle will be safe. A Necropsy technique that is time efficient and thorough is outlined. An important aspect is minimizing the number of detached body organs, thereby making it easier to remove the necropsied animal. A Necropsy data collection system is discussed that uses check-boxes to record findings. A link to a database that can be downloaded is included.

Field Necropsy of cattle and diagnostic sample submission.
The Veterinary clinics of North America. Food animal practice, 2012Co-Authors: Dee GriffinAbstract:Field necropsies can provide a wealth of information that can help guide production management decisions. Techniques outlined can allow a veterinary practitioner to complete a thorough Necropsy of a bovine, including examination of the brain when indicated, in less than 20 minutes. An observation and history collection system using form templates and photographs is outlined that improves efficiency of recording Necropsy results. One key to Necropsy efficiency, speed, and enjoyment is having sharp knives. The first part of the article includes tips for sharpening knives. The article also includes detailed information on appropriate diagnostic specimen handling, packaging, and shipping.
