Comparative study of six alternative solutions for embalming dogs for gross dissection studies
The Philippine Journal of Veterinary Medicine(2020)
摘要
Due to its health hazards, the quest for formalin substitutes has long been going on. This study was conducted to compare the efficiency of six alternative fixative solutions as to the traditional formalin used to preserve dog specimen for gross dissection in veterinary anatomy. Dogs (n=35) in each treatment group were embalmed with 10% formalin (Treatment 1), Soap Ethanol-based Fixing Solution (Treatment 2), Weigner’s Solution (Treatment 3), modified SEFS 1 (Treatment 4), modified SEFS 2 (Treatment 5), modified Weigner’s Solution 1 (Treatment 6) and modified Weigner’s Solution 2 (Treatment 7). Color, texture, odor characteristic, and conjunctival irritation scoring was done once a month for five months by the evaluators. Among the six alternative fixative solutions used, Treatment 6 had shown results that are most favorable for use in gross anatomical dissection. Treatment 6 can be used as an alternative fixative for gross anatomical studies considering the factors in selection of the type of fixative required for dissection such as the retention of color and texture of tissues and organs, odor characteristic, and conjunctival irritability, and including its nature of being an environmentally friendly preservative.
