An evaluation of the effect of chloral hydrate-magnesium sulphate (2:1) anaesthesia was conducted on eleven Black Bengal goats. The dosage of the anaesthetic, its effect on rectal temperature, pulse and respiratory rates, saliva production and rumen motility during various feeding regimen were studied. The mean total dose of chloral hydrate and magnesium sulphate to prolong anaesthesia over a period of 60 minutes was 214.3 and 107.1 mg/kg, respectively. The respiratory rate diminished and the pulse rate increased significantly. The saliva production in the fed animals was significantly (P0.05) higher than in the starved animals. Similarly, the frequency of rumen motility in the unstarved anaesthetized animal was significantly higher as compared to animals deprived of both food and water for 24 hours. On the contrary, rumen motility abolished completely in the animals supplied with water only but no food for 24 hours. Chloral hydrate-magnesium sulphate combination was not found to be a good anaesthetic agent in Bengal goat.
