Use of medetomidine as a sedative in goats

Abstract

Injecting goats with metetomidine (a new alpha-2 adrenergic acceptor) of 15 and 20 micrograms / kg in the muscle resulted in signs of a reduction in the central nervous system and muscle and resting for a period ranging between 1-1,5 hours. The side effects disappeared in physiological measurements within 3-4 hours of injecting the drug.
