Abstract: Twelve clinically affected bovine calves of either sex, weighing 100-150kgs were divided into two groups, containing of 6 calves in each group. Group-I received romifidine @ 40 µg/kg i.m. and group-II received romifidine @ 40 µg/kg, i.m followed by atipamezole @ 40µg/kg i/v at 30 minutes of romifidine sedation. The induction time, duration and recovery time were 7.83±0.34, 91.00±1.96 and 116.33±3.37 minutes respectively in group-I. In group-II, romifidine induced sedation was reversed by injecting atipamezole in 1.07±0.38 minutes. Atipamezole effectively reversed the sedative effects of romifidine at 1.07 ±0.38 min and all the values returned towards the pre-administration level within 15 minutes. Based on the findings of the study, romifidine sedation and its reversal by atipamezole can be suggested for use in clinically affected bovine calves.
