“…In this study, although the hooves have different measurements when comparing the two groups, no correlation was observed between them and the CL‐DIPJ within each group. This is an interesting finding because it is known that hoof size is directly related to the body size of horses (Faria et al., 2014), a pattern also observed in this study. Thus, it would be logical to think that the size of the CL‐DIPJ is proportional to the size of the hoof.…”

The desmitis of the collateral ligaments of distal interphalangeal joint (CL-DIPJ) have been increasingly diagnosed as a cause of locomotor changes in horses (Dyson et al., 2004), being characterized clinically by acute lameness with increased local volume and, ultrasonographically, by echogenicity changes and increased ligament cross-sectional area (Dyson et al., 2004; Rabba et al., 2010).CL-DIPJ desmitis are usually primary degenerative changes (Dyson et al. 2004). However, CL-DIPJ are important structures that assist in the stability of the distal interphalangeal joint (1999), so that its changes can lead to joint instability (Dyson et al. 2004).There are many advances in diagnostic imaging techniques in these structures, but still with several limitations, especially with regard to ultrasound assessment (Whitcomb, 2009;Denoix et al., 2011a).

Os muares são animais híbridos provenientes do cruzamento entre a fêmea equina (Equus caballus) e o macho asinino (Equus asinus). São animais rústicos e resistentes, e muito utilizados em trabalhos de tração. Os muares tiveram grande importância no Brasil na era colonial no transporte de gêneros alimentícios e outras mercadorias, principalmente no interior do país. Há um grande senso empírico de que os muares são animais mais resistentes do que os equinos e mais indicados para provas de resistência de baixa intensidade e longa duração, mas poucos dados científicos a respeito do assunto podem ser encontrados. Devido a esse fato há uma tendência crescente de se criar muares em detrimento de equinos, e o avanço desse setor em relação à seleção genética, têm feito da criação de muares um nicho de negócio bastante rentável. Análises de constituintes séricos sanguíneos de muares e equinos podem ser capazes de identificar qual espécie animal é mais resistente ao exercício físico. Os muares atualmente participam do chamado "agronegócio do cavalo", que movimenta grande valor econômico no país e gera muitos empregos diretos e indiretos. As enzimas lactato desidrogenase (LDH) e creatina quinase (CK) podem revelar se equinos e muares apresentam o mesmo desgaste frente ao exercício físico ou não. Devido ao exposto o presente trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar os muares em relação aos equinos, descrever sua resistência e elucidar sua inserção no agronegócio atual.Palavras-chave: Equídeos.

CHARACTERIZATION, INSERTION AND RESISTANCE OF MULES AND DONKEYS SUMMARY: Mules and donkeys are hybrid animals from the cross between the equine female (Equus caballus)and the male asinine (Equus asinus). They are rustic and resistant animals, and much used in traction works. The mules had great importance in Brazil in the colonial time in the transportation of foodstuffs and other goods, mainly in the countryside. There is a great empirical sense that mule animals are more resistant than equines and are best suited for low intensity and long duration resistance tests, but few scientific data on the subject can be found. Due to this fact there is a growing tendency to breed mules to the detriment of equines, and the advancement of this sector in relation to genetic selection, have made mule breeding a very profitable niche business. Analysis of serum blood constituents of mules and horses may be able to identify which animal species is more resistant to exercise. The mules currently participate in the so-called "agribusiness of the horse", which moves great economic value in the country and generates many direct and indirect jobs. The enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) may reveal whether equines and mules present the same wear versus physical exercise or not. Due to the above the present work has the objective to characterize the mule in relation to the equines, to describe its resistance and to elucidate its insertion in the current agribusiness.

“…Although the quality of trimming and shoeing is vital in active horses, in the case of draft horses (cart horses), a high prevalence of foot imbalance has previously been demonstrated, probably due to inadequate techniques used in the manufacture of rubber horseshoes, whose non-uniform thickness causes unequal distribution of limb forces during movement (Maranhão et al 2007). In addition, the excess load to which a horse is subjected causes poor weight distribution between the limbs and hooves, favoring the onset of locomotor system disorders, since there is no adequacy of traction vehicles to the horse's gait (Faria et al 2014, Mariz et al 2014.…”

Welfare and locomotor system disorders in active draft horses (cart horses)

Horses performing tasks is a common scene in urban centers, evidenced by the significant number of animals pulling carts along the streets (cart horses). Despite the rising concern of the population for animal welfare, as well as the creation of laws that prohibit traction activity in several Brazilian municipalities, these attitudes must be based on the impact of such activity on equine health. Locomotor system disorders are commonly observed in animals of this species, and become even more frequent when they are submitted to unhealthy working conditions. In this context, we conducted a survey on locomotor system disorders in 11 active draft horses. To this end, we performed lameness assessments and radiographic and ultrasound examinations. Information on management regarding the horses’ hooves, type of harness used, and type of work performed was also obtained through the application of questionnaires to the owners. The collected data showed that, although most of the animals in the study presented critical orthopedic conditions, they were not treated and the horses did not rest for adequate time. We observed that the disorders, which are often chronic, may be directly associated with incorrect management of the animals. We emphasize the importance to disseminate information that values the welfare of traction animals in order to tackle mistreatment.
