| A potential method of stress reduction in cheetah _(Acinonyx jubatus)_ translocation using perphenazine enanthate and zuclopenthixol acetate | |

A study on the impact of capture and captivity on the health of Namibian farmland cheetahs was carried out by MUNSON and MARKER-KRAUS (1997) and the Cheetah Conservation Fund. The study demonstrated that significant liver damage is incurred by cheetahs during the first week following capture, and that progressive renal damage may occur over time. The aim of this study was to find a way of reducing stress for several days in recently captured cheetahs without handling or depending on oral medication. |
