We routinely examine pig heart as part of diagnostic histopathology
and generally we are looking for the lesions of Vitamin E / Selenium
deficiency.
Vitamin E and organic Se are expensive and often deficient in commercial
piglet diets.
We simply fix with a formalin based fixative and process routinely to
paraffin
and stain with our H & E.
