Post-Mortem Examinations
Vitality Veterinary Services conducts detailed and accurate post-mortem examinations to help livestock owners determine causes of death and implement strategies to reduce future losses. Our skilled veterinary team delivers precise necropsy services and thorough insights, supporting you in making informed choices for the well-being of your herd.
What Are Post-Mortem Examinations?
A post-mortem examination, or necropsy, is a comprehensive procedure conducted after an animal’s death to identify the cause. This examination is especially valuable for livestock owners managing cattle, as findings can uncover hidden health concerns, nutritional imbalances, infectious diseases, or environmental hazards that may have contributed to the loss.
Our veterinarians carefully examine internal organs, collect tissue samples for lab analysis, and look for any abnormalities. The information gathered from a necropsy can guide protective measures for the remaining herd, helping refine management practices to mitigate future risks.
