The study was conducted in eighteen buffaloes categorised into three groups of six animals each. The drugs were used in following combinations: Glycopyrrolate–Xylazine–Meloxicam–Ketamine, Glycopyrrolate-Xylazine-Tolfenamic acid-Ketamine and Glycopyrrolate–Xylazine–Flunixin-meglumine–Ketamine. Glycopyrrolate was given @ 0.01 mg/kg body weight i/m, Xylazine @ 0.04 mg/kg body weight i/m, Meloxicam at 0.5 mg/kg body weight i/m, Tolfenamic acid 4 mg/kg body weight i/m, Flunixin-meglumine at 2.2 mg/kg body weight i/v and Xylazine and Ketamine @ 0.04 mg/kg body weight i/v and 1 mg/kg body weight i/v for induction and maintenance were given. Tolfenamic acid and Flunixin-meglumine groups produced comparable analgesia duration for 40.24±1.95 and 43.00 ±1.24 minutes respectively but analgesia duration for Meloxicam group was for 30.34±2.02 minutes comparatively lesser than Tolfenamic acid and Flunixin-meglumine groups. Anesthesia remained for comparable duration in Tolfenamic acid group (59.5±2.34 minutes), and Flunixin-meglumine group (58.83 ± 1.22 minutes) and shorter in Meloxicam group (54.66±2.45 minutes). Complete recovery was earliest in Meloxicam group in 85.66±2.02 minutes followed by Tolfenamic acid group in 91.33±2.89 minutes and Flunixin-meglumine group in 93.33±2.47 minute.
