Abstract

Systematic studies on midazolam-propofol combination anaesthesia have been conducted to determine its efficacy in randomly selected 6 adult dromedary camels of either sex, aged 9–13 years and weighing 350–600 kg maintained at National Research Centre on Camel (NRCC) at Jorbeer, Bikaner. Pre-anaesthetic dose of midazolam (0.2 mg kg−1) and propofol (0.75 mg kg−1) administered intravenously, resulted in induction of satisfactory surgical anaesthesia in camels. Behavioural, physiological and haemato-biochemical parameters were studied. Propofol inducted satisfactory anaesthesia for 8–10 minutes in camels premedicated with midazolam. No significant alterations occurred in any of the studied parameters in camels anaesthetised with midazolam-propofol combination. The combination provided satisfactory surgical anaesthesia of ultra short duration. Adequate muscle relaxation with rapid, smooth and uneventful recovery was noted in camels.
