Prosection of the Horse (DVD)

Prosection of the Horse guides the user step-by-step with a commentary through the post-mortem examination of the horse. Describes a technique where assistance is available, but there is also an illustration of a prosection method that can be followed by an investigator working without an assistant. This DVD is arranged in sections to enable access to the resources. The sections covered are: Section 1: Description of a prosection technique with the horse in lateral recumbency. This is particularly appropriate where post-mortem examination has to be carried out single-handedly in the field or stable where death has occurred. Running time: 29 minutes. Section 2: A more extensive technique of prosection is described with the cadaver in dorso-ventral recumbency where specialist facilities and assistance are available. Running time: 28 minutes. Section 3: Examination and description of major organs in the body (alimentary tract, liver, spleen, kidneys). Reference is made to some specific pathological features, e.g. changes in the intestines in dysautonomia ("grass sickness"). Dissection of the heart and removal of the brain are described. Running time: 27 minutes.
