Abstract

The aim was to assess the quality and safety of the pharmacological restraint of 13 specimens of Pecari tajacu with the combination of tiletamine, zolazepam, detomidine, atropine and azaperone. The initial doses were calculated using interspecific allometric extrapolation. There was a statistically significant reduction (p<0.05) in heart and respiratory rates and body temperature with the use of the protocol. All the animals showed deep sedation with total myorelaxation and no response to clamping. The onset and end of deep sedation were observed on average at 18.00 ± 7.06 minutes and 119.77 ± 19.41 minutes, respectively. The protocol evaluated is suitable for pre-anaesthetic medication, transport, physical examination, blood sampling, dental assessment, microchipping, earring placement for identification and other moderately invasive procedures in captive P. tajacu.
