Comprehensive Rodent Necropsy Profile (1st quarter testing):

Gross necropsy

Serology (comprehensive for each species)

Microbiology (NP and cecal cultures)

Parasitology (tape test, subgross pelage exam, subgross exam of cecal contents, direct fecal smear)

Histopathology (target organs for each species plus any lesioned organs)

Basic (3rd quarter testing) and Clinical (2nd and 4th quarter testing) Rodent Necropsy Profiles:

Gross necropsy

Serology (basic or clinical profile, respectively, for each species)

Parasitology (tape test, subgross pelage exam, subgross exam of cecal contents)

Histopathology (lesioned organs only)
