Preservation of anatomical specimens and animal products represents a current issue in terms of the need to maintain them for longer periods of time, and in view of certain religious precepts. Scientific progress has allowed the prevention of the decomposition of certain tissues, organs, cadavers, and so on, and this has become a necessity for many areas of biology, medical research in education centers. Currently there are multiple preservation techniques for anatomical preparations used in specialized laboratories, intended to meet certain quality standards, such preserving anatomical characteristics of living tissues, low costs involved in preparation and maintenance and reduced health risks in handling. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of maceration and boiling techniques applied to the bird cadavers, from the perspective obtaining a complete skeleton. The research was carried out in the Laboratory of Comparative Anatomy, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Each of the experimental techniques was applied to two bird cadavers. The obtained results show that the conservation technique through boiling has a high greater applicability because it does not require special equipment, the costs are reduced, however the risk of bone degradation is high, these being small and fragile. The maceration technique using insects from the Dermestes Maculatus genus, in the larval stage, has the advantages of obtaining a clean skeleton, without residual muscles fragments, this technique being also simple and easy to perform. The drawback of this technique is the prolonged time needed to obtain the desired effect.
