This study examined whether frozen taxidermy could be an alternative method for demonstrating dermatopathies to veterinary students. Skin samples from animals with common dermatological conditions were collected post-mortem and prepared using frozen taxidermy techniques. The study found that frozen taxidermy samples maintained tissue integrity and microscopic features, allowing dermatopathies to still be clearly observed and identified. This suggests frozen taxidermy may be a useful alternative to living animals for teaching veterinary pathology.
