Ketamine and ketamine-xylazine anaesthesia was performed in the laying hybrid Hisex Brown and in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix) to test short-time anaesthesia for the purposes of small surgical interventions. The used anaesthetics were ketamine (Narkamon 5 %) or a ketamine-xylazine mixture (Rometar 2 %). Both anaesthetics were injected i.m. to breast muscle. Ataxia was observed after administration of ketamine only at doses of 20 and 30 mg/kg, the hens sat down and laid down on the side with stiff outstretched legs, they clapped the wings and tossed about in the cage. Immobilization was observed in Japanese quail, with sporadic incidence of excitations after administration of ketamine alone at a dose of 20 mg/kg live weight. A mixture of ketamine at a dose od 20 mg/kg live weight and xylazine at a dose of 2 - 3 mg/kg live weight seems to be the best for the purposes of short-time anaesthesia when good sedative, analgetic and myorelaxation effects are to be achieved in the domestic fowl and Japanese quail.
