Abstract

Six indocile Grass Cutters received Acepromazine maleat in the drinking water (0.75?1.75%) for 28 days. The animals were tranquilized from the first week onwards. They stayed calm after stopping the treatment. It is feasible to administrate the tranquilizer via the drinking water without subjecting the animals to parenteral injections which may generate stress and thus be detrimental to rearing
