“…In a study involving pecari (Tayassu tajacu) carried out in the United States of America, sperm samples were taken through electroejaculation method by using different anesthetic agents (atipamezole, medetomidine) and the sperm density was observed to be higher in the group that received atipamezole than the group that received medetomidine. In our study the difference may be attributed to the selection of different sperm collection methods and anesthetic agents (Paiva et al, 2014).…”

There is a need for various anesthetic agents to obtain sperm in the field of human and veterinary medicine. Propofol and midazolam are among the most preferred among these agents. The aim of this study was to determine how sperm paramaters are affected according to the anesthetic agent used. Propofol (2mg/kg) and midazolam (3,5-7,5mg/kg) were administered twice a day (morning-evening) for one week. As a result of this study, there was no statistical difference in sperm density and abnormal sperm rates (respectively P=0,673, P=0,479). Sperm motility rates are similar in the control and propofol groups, while the motility rate in the midazolam group is statistically lower. (Control group %85 - Midazolam group %68.75 - Propofol group %83.75), (P<0.05). As a result of this study, the confidence interval of propofol was higher than the other anesthetic agents used for sperm retrieval.

This experimental, prospective, randomised, and blinded study aimed to perform comparative evaluation of electrocardiographic (ECG) effects of different doses xylazine and medetomidine in dromedary calves after intravenous (IV) administration. A total of twenty five clinically and paraclinically healthy male dromedary calves aged 15±2 weeks and weighing 95±5.5 kg were assigned randomly to five different groups (four experimental and one control). Groups XL and XH received a low (0.2 mg kg-1) and high (0.4 mg kg-1) dose of xylazine hydrochloride and groups ML and MH received a low (10 µg kg-1) and high (20 µg kg-1) dose of medetomidine hydrochloride once, IV. Finally, the control group (C) received normal saline in the same manner. ECG indices were evaluated on post treatment 0, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 min, and 24 h. There was no significant difference in heart rate (HR) in all experimental groups at T90. HR was significantly lower after high doses than after low doses of medetomidine and xylazine at T120. HR was significantly lower in XH than in other groups of study at T24. At T90 QRS amplitude in XH was statistically lower than in control and XL groups. Analysis of P wave duration revealed that in MH and XH it was significantly longer than in ML, XL and control at T5. Duration of P wave in control group was significantly shorter than in all experimental groups from T10 to T90. RR interval duration was significantly shorter at T5 and T10 in control group compared to experimental groups. At T120, RR interval duration in MH and XH was considerably longer than that in ML, XL, and control. Compared with control group, cardiac arrhythmia scores were significantly lower than in all experimental groups from T5 to T60. At T90 and T120 in MH and XH, cardiac arrhythmia scores were significantly higher than those of XL, ML, and control. According to our findings, using low dose of medetomidine (10 µg kg-1) and xylazine (0.2 mg kg-1) was suggested in comparison with high dose of medetomidine (20 µg kg-1) and xylazine (0.4 mg kg-1) in dromedary calves with cardiac diseases in the field.
