title: Diagnostic necropsy of suckling swine.
abstract: A diagnosis of many problems affecting the baby pig can be made by careful necropsy of several freshly killed, acutely affected, untreated pigs and the application of one or more of the examinations outlined in this article. The selection and preservation of specimens to be forwarded to diagnostic laboratories for assistance in confirming the tentative diagnosis are of critical importance in gaining the maximum information from a necropsy examination.
