Capture of Sandhill Cranes Using Alpha-chloralose: A 10-Year Follow-up

Seasonal adjustment of alpha-chloralose captures of sandhill cranes was associated with a modest increase in capture efficacy (+13%), decreased morbidity from exertional myopathy (−1.4%), and overall mortality (−1.7%) rates despite little change in sedation scores. Postcapture fluid administration a...

Zusammenfassung:Seasonal adjustment of alpha-chloralose captures of sandhill cranes was associated with a modest increase in capture efficacy (+13%), decreased morbidity from exertional myopathy (−1.4%), and overall mortality (−1.7%) rates despite little change in sedation scores. Postcapture fluid administration also decreased confinement times by several hours over most sedation scores.
