Why you must pay for postmortem for cattle

Police probe the death of six cattle at a home in Iyabe, Kisii County on January 31, 2019. [File, Standard]

I am a religious follower of your column in Smart Harvest. I have 20 dairy animals on my farm. Last month, one of them died under mysterious circumstances. I know dead animals need to be disposed off safely and I plan to do that. I spoke to my vet and he advised that we do a postmortem first. But my concern is it means extra veterinary costs I had not budgeted for. Kindly educate me more on the importance of postmortem on a dead animal.
