A necropsy, also known as an autopsy in humans, is a medical examination performed on animals after death. It helps veterinarians determine the cause of death and can provide valuable information about diseases, injuries, or infections that may have affected the animal. This procedure is essential for understanding health issues in animal populations and can aid in preventing future cases. During a necropsy, a veterinarian examines the body and its organs, often taking samples for further testing. The findings can contribute to research in veterinary medicine and improve the care of living animals. This process is crucial for both animal health and public health.
