A new technique is described for the taking of skin biopsy samples in a fast and efficient manner. The device used is a biopsy gun which contains the feature of rotary motion, a requisite for accurate sampling. Triggering the gun against the skin of the animal produces the sample instantaneously. Since the wound is small, the healing process is rapid.
