Veterinary Pathology - Autolysis

 
Introduction
   

Fresh Carcase - Internal organ condition

The intestinal walls retain muscle tone for a short time after death and if the specimen has only recently(< 30 minutes) died then there is often still some peristaltic muscular contraction evident. The lungs are generally pink and congestion of the thoracic and abdominal tissues is not normally seen for some hours after death.
