Abstract
Twenty-two free-ranging adult female moose (Alces alces) were immobili zed with a 1:4 mixture of xylazine hydrochloride (XH) and ketamine hyd rochloride (KH). Mean (SD) dosages/animal for XH and KH were 419 (148) and 1565 (433) mg, respectively. Mean (SD) induction time was 18.4 (9 .7) minutes. Reversal with yohimbine hydrochloride using a mean dosage of 83 mg/animal resulted in a mean (SD) recovery time of 22.8 (28.5) minutes.
