Henry Labuschagne, 11 Feb 2024: I routinely use diazepam meal in especially nyala and springbok in boma or small camp before darting. It seems to make a difference to take the edge off them and make them less skittish. Liam Theuns Smit, [11 Feb 2024 at 14:29:10]: If you add 3mg etorphine for every 50mg diazepam in the maize meal, you can catch the animals by hand. Sometimes if you add 10mg medetomidine you get a proper sedating effect especially on spiral-horned antelope. The biggest thing is to get proper distribution in the feed. Try it Henry and let us know.
