It is interesting to note that drug dosages have had to be higher than normally used, because the animals are in excellent condition and therefore heavier than normal. The ?cocktail' used for an adult cow, for example, would be 2 milligrams M99 (Etorphine), 30 milligrams Fentanyl and 100 milligrams Azaperone - 250 milligrams Nalorphine is used for the reversal. The use of Azaperond has resulted in animals travelling very calmly and showing no aggression when being released.
