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.
