Zoo and wildlife post-mortem examinations
We routinely perform post mortem examinations (PMEs) for local zoos. We accept submissions for PMEs from zoos and safari parks.
- Necropsies can be performed at Leahurst on animals up to 2 tons in weight
- For larger animals, a field PME can be arranged upon request and based on staff availability
- Primate PME should be discussed with us in advance
- The material obtained by the pathology service is used for both undergraduate and postgraduate training and research in veterinary pathology.
