AB During the sedation and immobilization experiments it was found that sheep could also be immobilized by Feenix Stockstill (Feenix International Ltd., Tarlee, South Australia) as cattle. By empiric manner, it was elaborated that the immobilization should start with a switch position of 8 (respiration stopped) and within 40 to 60 seconds, it should be regressed to the position 4 (respiration started again). The animals could be kept in this position for 20 minutes without any damage. The studies were carried out in 93 rams and 31 young ewes with different body-masses (Table). Body-mass, the environmental temperature and the breed of animals did not influence the effectiveness of the method. The anaesthesia was controlled by smaller animal breeding and veterinary interactions (castration, care of hoof, ear tag fixing). It was found that the grade of anaesthesia was sufficient to performing the operations and animal welfare workers did not protest against the procedure. It was also observed that this method was not harmless in animals recovered from cardiac disturbances (myodegeneration was found in two and endocarditis in one of the four animals died).
