      Blix, Arnoldus S; Ness, john; Lian, Hans (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-04-01)
      Experiences from the management of a semi-domesticated herd of muskoxen, mostly on an island outside Tromsø (~70º N; 19º E), over a period of 40 years have been collected, and data on husbandry practices, reproduction, diseases and longevity are presented and discussed.

    • Immobilization of muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) with etorphine and xylazine 

      Blix, Arnoldus S; Lian, Hans; Ness, john (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-06-27)
      One hundred and thirty three “wild” muskoxen, 81 of which of known body mass, were successfully immobilized using etorphine (M99), and xylazine (Rompun®), delivered by use of a dart gun. A dose of 0.05 mg/kg M99, supplemented by 0.15 mg/kg Rompun was found to be very effective. This dose is much higher than currently recommended e.g. by Handbook of Wildlife Chemical Immobilization.
