If you are going to give your deer anything in the chute to calm them down I suggest a 1cc shot of Acepromazine, I have used it before with no ill effects on my AI conception rates on several farms. After having used it many times I only suggest using it for does that are really worked up prior to jumping into the drop chute. For the most part its easier to quickly deposit the semen just outside of the cervix and get the doe out of the chute instead of waiting a minute or so for the Acepromazine to start working, especially when you likely have a straw of semen thawed out and ready to go. Time is of the essence once straws have been thawed, the less time they can spend exposed the better off you will be. |
