The experiment was carried out on twentyclinically healthy mature male quails randomly divided into two groups. The first group (n=10) received the combinationof 8 mg/kg Xylazine HCl 50 mg/kg and Ketamine HCl IM and second group (n=10) received: the same combination viaIO route. Each quail was monitored for heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), cloacal temperature (CT) andelectrocardiography (ECG). The induction and duration time of anesthesia in IO group was significantly shorter thanthat for IM Group (P<0.05). The HR of IO group was significantly decreased on 15th, 20th and 30th min as compared tothe IM group (P<0.05). When statistical differences were compared among different groups, the RR of IO groupreduced significantly (P<0.05) on the 3th, 5th, 10th and 15th min than that of the IM group. There were no significantdifferences observed in the CT values between IO and IM group during the anesthesia. Also, reflexes disappeared inboth groups throughout the anesthesia. In conclusion, sufficient anesthesia can be obtained by the use of both the IMand the IO xylazine-ketamine administration. Furthermore, it was determined that IO route can be easily used in clinicalpractice such as IM anesthesia in quails. CR - 1. Aksoy O, Ozaydin I, Kirmizigül AH, Kilic E, Ozturk S, Kurt B, Yayla S.
