Electroacupuncture was applied to ten freshly chosen acupoints on fifteen stable adult bucks. Eyelid closing, head and neck relaxing, rumen motility, and tympany were all improved in the research goats. The critical parameters indicated that the body temperature was abnormally high. The heart rate rose dramatically (p {u2264} 0.246). The respiratory rate increased by a significant amount (p {u2264} 0.043). The CRT showed a statistically significant improvement (p {u2264} 0.691). The hematocrit value was abnormally high. The level of haemoglobin in the blood was abnormally high. RBCs, platelets, workers' cells, and SPO2 levels all improved dramatically. Eosinophils, WBCs, lymphocytes, monocytes, and segmented cells were found to be unimportant. ALT and AST ratios were unremarkable. The significant mean pain tolerance level was (0.02 ± 0.03), and the significant cortisol level was (0.02 ± 0.03). Electroacupuncture had several important parameters, according to the findings. In goats, electroacupuncture was thought to be a potent anaesthetic for abdominal surgery. Furthermore, wound healing was outstanding and improved. The same goats were used for laparoscopic surgery after a month. 15 adult bucks were split into three categories, each with five bucks: (group I) received electroacupuncture at 10 newly chosen acupoints, (group II) received electroacupuncture plus detomidine, and (group III) received detomidine alone. The group (I) had the largest rate of eyelid closing, followed by group (II) (III). Groups (I) and (II) had slightly higher rates of head and neck relief than category (I) (III). The rate of head and neck relaxing was not substantially different in the group (I). Classes (II) and (III) had slightly lower rates of tympany than category (I) (I)
