Chloral-mag(6;@ 10 mg/kg i/v) followed 10 min later by thiopental sodium (5; @ 15mg/kg to effect, i/v) was evaluated in 6 clinically healthy, 10-15 days old and weighing 16-24 kg neonate male calves. General anaesthesia was induced in 60 sec with peak effect remaining for 60-90 min and sedation remaining for more than 4 h. Breach holding was of common feature in all the animals. There was excellent muscularrelaxation and analgesia throughout the study. A significant hypothermia and nonsignificant tachycardia was recorded. Elevation of ST segment was a constant feature. There was evidence of hyperglycaemia with a nonsignificant increase in AST and ALT values.
