| Creator | Smuts, G.L. | |
| Description | he successful capture and restraint of gemsbok, eland and kudu using the potent sedative, Xylazine hydrochloride (Rompun, Bayer) and the new retractable-barbed dart ("drop-out" dart) is described. These species were rapidly immobilized and rendered 100 per cent tractable by Etorphine/Rompun or Fentanyl/Rompun drug combinations. The drop-out dart proved to be invaluable for the capture of timid species as flight distances were greatly reduced and the chances of capture myopathy (overstraining disease) subsequently obviated. | |
