Abstract

Chemical immobilization has been a major method of capturing wildlife over the last two decades, but few investigations have attempted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different drugs in wild animal species in their natural habitat. This study presents data obtained on chemical restraint of free ranging wild animals that were collected during the Pan African Rinderpest Campaign (PARC) Project in Tanzania
