Abstract

Sixty-two moose undergoing translocation were chemically immobilized with 10 mg of A-3080 intramuscularly (IM) via dart from a helicopter. The animals were given four different reversal regiments IM, 50 mg or 300 mg of Nalmefene hydrochloride (HCl), or 100 mg or 50 mg of Naltrexone HCl. The mean immobilization time was 3.6 ± 2.0 min. The moose recovered (i.e., were standing) in approximately 2.0 min with each of the reversal regimens. There were no deaths or renarcotization observed.
