===Azaperone===
Azaperone is marketed under the trade name of Stresnil. It modifies behaviour and gives dose-related sedation. It is used in pigs, for example against aggresssion and transport stress, to aid obstetrical intervention and as a premedicant. Intramuscular administration is preferred, with a 20 minute onset time (this is 5 mins if given i/v). The effects last 2-6 hours, and the drug potentiates anaesthetic agents.
