📢New papers! 📢 When immobilising large wild animals, we aim to combine reliable effectiveness with the greatest possible safety for the animal. Our research helps to improve our understanding of the reactions to potent substances used and to advance the field of wildlife medicine. shorturl.at/FJOI5
