A midazolam, ketamine, xylazine and propofol combination was evaluated as a long-term anaesthetic regimen in 18 pigs. The pigs were premedicated with intramuscular injection of atropine sulphate (0.05 mg/kg. b.wt.). Induction of anaesthesia was induced by intramuscular injection of midazolam, ketamine and xylazine at dose rates 1mg, 4 mg and 2mg/kg b.wt. respectively. Maintenance of anaesthesia was by intravenous injection of propofol at a dose rate 1 mg/kg b.wt. via a jugular cannula. Booster doses of propofol were given according to the duration of the concomitant surgical procedures. Body temperature, heart and respiratory rates were recorded. Assessment of analgesia, anaesthesia and recovery by skin and tail clamp stimuli. The combination of midazolam, ketamine ,Xylazine and propofol was found very effective and safe for produring long-term anaesthesia in pigs
