  • Title: Chemical restraint in ruminants.
    Author: Abrahamsen EJ.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract; 2008 Jul; 24(2):227-43, v. PubMed ID: 18471565.
    Abstract:
    Physical restraint is generally required when working with food animal patients. Adding a degree of chemical restraint can make many procedures more pleasant for both practitioner and patient. The enhanced level of patient cooperation improves efficiency, offsetting the modest additional cost of the drugs used. Chemical restraint techniques used in ruminants range from mild sedation of standing patients to semianesthetized recumbency.
