Abstract:
The study was carried out in 12 clinical cases of goats presented for various surgical procedures and were randomly divided into two groups consisting of six goats in each group. The goats of both the groups were premedicated with romifidine hydrochloride (50 µg/kg, IV). After ten minutes the animals of group I and II were induced with ketamine (6 mg/kg, IV) and propofol (6 mg/kg IV) respectively then anaesthesia maintained with isoflurane (1-2%) in both the groups. Haemoglobin and total erythrocyte count decreased non-significantly, whereas, packed cell volume and total leukocyte count decreased significantly at maximum depth of anaesthesia in both the groups. All the haemato-biochemical changes were within physiological limits. The preanesthetic and the general anaesthetic combinations followed in both the groups provided satisfactory surgical plane of anaesthesia and were ideal and safe to perform major surgeries in goats without any complications.
