[The use of tiletamine/zolazepam/romifidine for distant immobilization of wild boars]

The immobilisation of 25 wild boars with a combination of tiletamine/zolazepam/romifidine is described. The applied dose was 3-6 mg/kg BW Tilest 500 and 100 micrograms/kg BW Sedavet. The mean recumbency time was 5-10 min. There were no critical moments during anesthesia, even with pregnant sows. Anesthesia was supervised with a pulse oximeter and a respiration frequency monitor. The oxygen saturation was between 92% and 96%, pulse and respiration rate remained normal.
