Dart injection is a veterinary technique for giving a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection to livestock without physically restraining the animal. The medication is delivered using a dart gun for animals in the wild, such as reindeer, or occasionally a blowgun for animals in captivity, rather than a hand held syringe. Its purpose is to let veterinarians and handlers medicate an animal without the stress and difficulty of restraining it, making the process safer for both the animal and the person administering the injection.
