Abstract

The discussion of information pertaining to postmortem examinations presented in this paper should provide food animal practitioners with an efficient and practical means of performing field necropsies. Moreover, these examinations should provide valuable data for assessing the effectiveness of current preventive and therapeutic programs. This knowledge should assist the food animal veterinarian in the rational development of new strategies for the control and prevention of feedlot diseases.
