Dart injection
A dart injection is used to give a single intramuscular or subcutaneous injection to livestock without restraining the animal. It can be contrasted with hand injection.[1] These injections are usually administered by a tranquilliser gun, if in the wild, or sometimes a blowgun if in captivity.
