[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1680927, member: 12607"] It's either... 1. Serous atrophy of fat - she'd exhausted all her body fat stores, and you end up with that yellow, jello-like consistency tissue in what should be fat deposits. or, 2. Edema just from her being down - impaired circulation and pressure necrosis. How to avoid it in the future? 1) Supply sufficient energy in the ration to prevent them having to catabolize body fat/muscle stores and 'going down' in the first place; or, 2) re-think butchering downer animals.
