The article presents an analysis of the use of ketamine and xylazine to improve the preliminary electroejaculation technique developed for semen collection from the agouti Neotropical rodent. According to the authors, a modified procedure that is based on the animals' response is required in electroejaculation practice since stimulations required for ejaculation are affected by the animal's anesthetic plane. Details related to the application of various dosages and treatments of ketamine and xylazine to produce the best ejaculation time are also presented. Based on the study, xylazine treatments were able to produce better ejaculation procedure and more spermatozoa-positive samples, however, weaker dosages of xylazine is necessary to achieve complete anesthesia for electroejaculation. |
