Abstract:
This report describes immobilization techniques used in free-living giraffes for studies of reproductive physiology and ecology. The ecological studies involved minor manipulation for blood sampling and radio-collaring, and a quiet sedated giraffe in lateral recumbency was required. The reproductive studies required anesthesia for semen collection by electroejaculation.
Key Words: Field immobilization, methods, giraffe, sampling, electroejaculation, carfentanil, xylazine
