A veterinary anesthesia machine is a critical tool in animal healthcare and research, facilitating safe and controlled anesthesia across a wide range of species. These machines are commonly used for major domestic animals, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs . They ensure precise delivery of oxygen and anesthetic gases, enabling both surgical and diagnostic procedures.
Beyond traditional farm and companion animals, anesthesia machines also serve in exotic and wildlife medicine. These include birds, pocket pets like guinea pigs and rabbits, reptiles, and even aquatic species when adapted correctly . In research settings, animals such as laboratory rodents (rats, mice), small pigs, non‑human primates, and other experimental species frequently require anesthesia, making these machines indispensable for a broad array of scientific and veterinary applications
