Physiological Response of Bali Cattle on Anesthetic of Ketamine and Propofol

Abstract

General anesthesia in Bali cattle using ketamine and propofol has not been reported. Therefore, research is needed to determine the dosage, time of anesthesia and physiological response of ketamine, propofol, and combinations of both (ketafol). Twelve male calves, weighing 25-45 kg with age of 2-4 months were used in this research. Physiological changes in the cardiovascular and respiratory system, also body temperature was monitored using a physiograph tool. All calves were premedicated with xylazine (0.1 mg/kg BW) intramuscularly, and induced with ketamine (2 mg/kg BW), propofol (2 mg/kg BW) and ketafol (1 mg/kg BW ketamine and 1 mg/kg BW propofol) intravenously after 10 minutes. Ketamine induced calves showed results of induction time after 4.75 ± 1.73 minutes, duration of anesthesia is 13.03 ± 1.15 minutes, and recovery time is 12.01 ± 5.05 minutes. The induction time using propofol is 2.50 ± 0.58 minutes, duration of anesthesia is 15.50 ± 1.91 minutes and recovery time is 2.75 ± 0.96 minutes. Calves induced with ketafol produced5.00 ± 1.41 minutes for induction time, duration of anesthesia was 14.00 ± 1.83 minutes, and recovery time was 4.50 ± 0.58 minutes. The calves that were induced with ketamine, propofol, and ketafol show that the induction time and duration of anesthesia are not significantly different, but for propofol’s recovery time was significantly lower compared with ketamine, but not significantly different from ketafol. Anesthesia using propofol or ketafol can be used in Bali cattle because the physiological changes in the cardiovascular and respiratory system are more stable and no extreme changes was found.

Application of α2‐adrenergic agonists combined with anesthetics and their implication in pulmonary intravascular macrophages‐insulted pulmonary edema and hypoxemia in ruminants

“…In addition, there was not a great change in MAP, but a decline in RR for a long period of time (min) (15–240) was recorded in all doses. Induction of anesthesia with KET (2 mg/kg, IV) or PRO (2 mg/kg, IV) after XYL (0.1 mg/kg, IM) premedication was assessed in Bali cattle (Pemayun & Sudisma, 2020). XYL‐PRO and XYL‐KET combinations showed decreased HR up to 20 and 30 min, respectively, following induction, then began to rise gradually till the end of anesthetic period.…”

Successful Pregnancy Results from Double Dosage Artificial Insemination in Different Estrous Characteristics in Madura Cattle

“…The condition of mucus coupled with double dosage AI at the 2nd hour AI and 8th hour AI makes the PR pregnancy rate high [10]. Signs of oestrus in cows are characterized by restlessness, swelling and redness of the vulva, decreased milk production, discharge, or clear translucent mucus from the vulva [14] The effect of vulvar swelling on NRR in this study is shown in Table 9. Dosage 1 showed that the vulvar swelling in the very swollen category has a percentage of 62.22% in NRR-1 and in NRR-2 it has a value of 60.00%.…”
