In [[Sri Lanka]] and [[India]], domesticated Asian elephants in musth are traditionally tied to a strong tree and denied food and water or put on a [[starvation diet]] from several days to a week which shortens the duration of the musth, typically to five to eight days. Sedatives, like [[xylazine]], are also sometimes used.<ref name=Ananth>[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274501896_Musth_in_Elephants Musth in Elephants], by Deepa Ananth; published April 2000 in ''Zoos' Print Journal'' 15(5):259-262; DOI:10.11609/JoTT.ZPJ.15.5.259-62</ref><ref name=Xylazine>Parag Nigam, Samir Sinha, Pradeep Malik, and Sushant Chowdhary [https://www.zoosprint.zooreach.org/index.php/zpj/article/view/6522/5937 MANAGING ELEPHANT IN MUSTH: A CASE REPORT], ''Zoos' Print Journal'' 21(5):  2265-2266 (May 2006).</ref> Zoos keeping adult male elephants need strong, purpose-built enclosures to isolate males during their musth.
