Abstract
A new liver biopsy instrument for large animals was manufactured and used to obtain samples in the range of 150–350 mg fresh weight from dairy cattle. Difficulties with the aspiration procedure caused by inadequate control of suction and excessively deep penetration of the liver were eliminated with the new instrument.
