Most zoos have a policy whereby any animal in the collection that dies or is euthanased, must have a autopsy performed by their zoo vet or pathologist. Once the body is examined thoroughly, biopsies are taken and stored for future examination or testing. The remainder of the carcass is then disposed of (either buried or incinerated). Very rarely larger carcasses may be fed to one of the carnivores on the zoo grounds, as long as the animal it did not die of something contagious or was not given a lethal injection (which may then also kill anything that eats it).
I hope this answers your question.

Some zoos have taken animals that are endangered and are trying breeding programs to prolong the species.
