This session will focus on the critical considerations for successfully and safely immobilizing exotic ungulates in the field. We will explore the selection of appropriate anesthetics, projectors and remote delivery devices based on different species and environments. Safety will be a key theme, highlighting both the safety of the animal and the team performing the immobilization. We will discuss risk assessment, minimizing stress, and general considerations for anesthesia and recovery. By the end of this presentation, attendees will gain practical insights into field immobilization protocols and increase their confidence to successfully carry out these procedures in the field.
