Byline: M. Tariq, A. B. Kalhoro, A. B. Kachiwal, A. Akhtar and M. Niamatullah - Email: amandrdik@gmail.com ABSTRACT: Study was carried out to compare the sedative, analgesic effects of medetomidine administered @ (8ug/kg, 10ug/kg and 12ug/kg) intravenously in six healthy cattle calves. Observations on pulse rate, respiratory rate and body temperature were recorded upto 120 minutes. The pulse rate, and respiratory rate decreased significantly (Pless than0.01) after 5 minutes of administration of medetomidine. However, body temperature decreased significantly (Pless than0.05) after 5 minutes of administration of medetomidine. Onset of sedation was observed at 26.00+-0.36, 21.00+-0.56 and 16.00+-0.43 seconds respectively. Onset and duration of sedation were significantly different (Pless than0.01) among all three doses.
