Welfare Concerns for Mounted Load Carrying by Working Donkeys in Pakistan

Syed S. U. H. Bukhari et al.

Summary: The study investigates the mounted load carrying by donkeys in Pakistan and highlights the issue of overloading as a major welfare concern for working donkeys. The results show that the majority of donkeys carry loads exceeding the recommended 50% bodyweight ratio, with a significant proportion carrying loads above 90% bodyweight ratio. Factors such as carrying construction material, younger age, and working in peri-urban and urban areas are associated with higher loads carried by donkeys.

Perceptions and Attitudes towards Mules in a Group of Soldiers

Javiera Lagos et al.

Summary: Soldiers' empathy towards animals is positively associated with their perception of pain and empathy towards humans. They prefer working with mules over donkeys and horses, perceiving mules as intelligent and well-suited for pack work in mountains, despite also perceiving them as aggressive. Soldiers have a good understanding of mules' nutritional, environmental, and health needs, but require better understanding of their behavioral and emotional needs.

Syed S. U. H. Bukhari et al.

Summary: The review highlights the importance of understanding load-carrying capacity in equids and the need for evidence-based guidelines. Various parameters, such as gait symmetry and physiological factors, are used to determine the effects of loading on animals. Further research is necessary to standardize the measurement of load-carrying capacity in working horses and donkeys.

Short-term transport stress and supplementation alter immune function in aged horses

Ashton B. Miller et al.

Summary: Short-term transportation has significant effects on the physiological, endocrine, and immune responses in horses. Supplementation may help alleviate inflammation in aged horses. Immune responses are most affected at 15-min post-transport and typically recover by Day 1, indicating horses may be vulnerable to disease during and immediately after short-term transport.
