Black River Technical College’s (BRTC) Animal Science class recently performed a fetal piglet dissection led by BRTC Agriculture Instructor Shauna Throesch.

The class learned how to identify the different parts of the animal’s anatomy, organs, and tracts. The class also shared the dissection with BRTC Respiratory Instructor Jessica Alphin’s respiratory students who focused on techniques for breathing and how the lungs function.
