“…It was estimated that the total meat production was 245 million tons and about 30% thereof was poultry especially exotic breeds of chicken (FAO, 2000). Quite often, local poultry stocks serve as the main source of animal protein to the poor since they are easily accessed by rural households (Umunna et al, 2021, Kanyama et al, 2022. There is a growing interest in the use of poultry as a tool in poverty alleviation in the world (Dunya et al, 2015).…”

“…There is a growing interest in the use of poultry as a tool in poverty alleviation in the world (Dunya et al, 2015). Poultry production is therefore an effective means of transferring wealth from the high-income urban members of community to the rural dwellers (Dunya et al, 2015, Umunna et al, 2021. It was observed that the native chickens constitute about 80% of the poultry birds in Nigeria (Fayeye and Oketoyin, 2006).…”

This study determined the suitable general anaesthetic regimen in local chicken that underwent experimental wound repair by comparing the effect of different anaesthetic protocols. Fifteen healthy matured layer local chickens of average weight of 0.2kg were used for the study. They were randomly assigned into three groups (A–C) of five birds each. Birds in all groups were premedicated with xylazine 2 mg/kg body weight (b/w) IV. Birds in groups A, B and C were anaesthetized with thiopentone, 30 mg/kg (b/w), propofol, 15 mg/kg (b/w) and ketamine, 25 mg/kg (b/w) respectively through the jugular vein. Surgical incisions were made on breast muscle at the depth of 0.1cm and length of 2cm and sutured using size 1 chromic catgut and size 3/0 silk for muscles and skin respectively. The physiological parameters were recorded at 0 min pre induction and subsequently every ten (10) min interval post induction. The anaesthetic indices were also recorded. Data were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The result showed that propofol-xylazine had significantly (𝑃 ≤ 0.05) faster onset, short duration of recumbency, minimal effect on the cardiopulmonary system and on the blood glucose, but provide short surgical anaesthetic time when compared to other drugs. Thiopental-xylazine significantly (𝑃 ≤ 0.05) caused more cardiopulmonary depression compare to Ketamine-xylazine. Ketamine-xylazine had significantly (𝑃 ≤ 0.05) longest onset, duration of recumbency and surgical anaesthetic time with stable cardiopulmonary function among the drugs. Ketamine-xylazine regimen may be considered as the best of the three anaesthetics protocol in local chicken especially during long surgical procedure.
