Abstract

Once the anesthetic association of tiletamine and zolazepam (Zoletil® 50) was successfully used in the anesthesia of Nile tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus) via intravenous, the aim of this experiment was to evaluate the use of this association via intramuscular. 30 fish separated into 6 treatments with 4 repetitions and 1 control group were used. The dosages of 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60 mg/kg were tested. Even though the anesthetic association dosages between 10 and 60 mg/kg have caused sedation from slight to moderate levels after the intramuscular administration, it was possible to suggest that the use of tiletamine and zolazepam association through this via is not proper for bloody and algesic procedures, once none of those dosages were capable enough to provoke anesthesia in this species.
