Fetal Pig Specimen, 7"-10", Plain

An excellent way for students to study mammal anatomy is to use a fetal pig for dissection. This medium-sized plain preserved fetal pig specimen measures between 7 and 10 inches in length. Use this pig fetus dissection specimen as a lower-cost alternative to the more expensive double-injected fetal pig!

Note: Pig fetus dissection specimens are initially preserved with a formaldehyde solution, the best animal tissue fixative. The formaldehyde is then displaced first with water and finally with a glycol solution to produce a moist, low-fume dissection specimen which will not decay over time.
