Twelve experimental trials were undertaken on clinically healthy male buffalo calves.Atropine was administered @ 0.04 mg/kg, IM and xylazine was administered @ 0.04 mg/kg, IM.
Following atropine-xylazine administration, a decrease in spontaneous activity was seen in all the animals.Lowering of head was observed in Display Overlay three animals.Haemoglobin reduced significantly at 15 minute after xylazine administration.A significant reduction in mean arterial pressure (MAP) was also seen at 30 and 45 minute after xylazine administration.
The pulse pressure increased significantly after 5 minute of xylazine administration.The central venous pressure Gas Stove Thermostat (CVP) increased significantly at 30 minute and 45 minute of xylazine administration.
