“…Horse‐owners’ descriptions of the presenting clinical signs of EZL were consistent with the clinical pattern seen in an EZL case, with progression from a mild case to a more severe case that is not treatable and ultimately leads to horses being abandoned 41. A similar distribution for colic is also consistent with the clinical pattern seen in colic cases, with the majority of clinical cases resolving in a short period, whilst a minority are catastrophic abdominal events leading to death 42.…”

SummaryReasons for performing studyWorking horses, donkeys and mules suffer from numerous diseases and clinical problems. However, there is little information on what owners perceive as important health concerns in their working animals.ObjectivesTo identify and prioritise with owners the diseases and other health concerns in working equids in central Ethiopia using participatory methodologies.Study designParticipatory situation analysis (PSA).MethodsThe study was conducted with carthorse‐ and donkey‐owners in 16 sites in central Ethiopia. Multiple participatory methodologies were utilised, including ranking, matrices and focus group discussions. Owners’ perceptions on frequency, importance, morbidity and mortality of volunteered diseases and the clinical signs that owners attributed to each disease were obtained; information regarding the impact of these diseases and health concerns was also sought.ResultsA total of 40 separate disease and health problems were volunteered by carthorse‐ and donkey‐owners. Horse‐owners volunteered a musculoskeletal syndrome (with the local name ‘bird’, clinical signs suggest possible disease pathologies including equine exertional rhabdomyolysis), colic and epizootic lymphangitis most frequently, whereas donkey‐owners volunteered sarcoids, nasal discharge and wounds to occur most frequently. One problem (coughing) was volunteered frequently by both horse‐ and donkey‐owners. Owners demonstrated knowledge of differing manifestations and severity of these problems, which resulted in differing impacts on the working ability of the animal.ConclusionsAlthough many of the diseases and clinical signs had been previously reported, this study also identified some previously unreported priorities such as rabies in donkeys, an unidentified musculoskeletal syndrome in horses and respiratory signs in both horses and donkeys. The information gathered during this participatory study with owners may be used to inform future veterinary and educational programme interventions, as well as identify future research priorities.

“…Los datos para leucocitos también fueron similares a los obtenidos en caballos criollos colombianos, estudio realizado en fincas de tres municipios del departamento de Córdoba (ÁLVAREZ et al, 2016 3,0%). Este resultado se podría explicar por la constante exposición de los animales del estudio a situaciones de permanentes lesiones o patologías de carácter inflamatorio e infeccioso que originan un aumento de estas células (MAIR, 1996). La monocitopenia o disminución en el número de monocitos circulantes no tiene relevancia clínica (GRONDIN y DEWITT, 2010;SELLON, 2004).…”

The diagnosis of diseases in animals depends to a large extent on clinical examinations and laboratory results, in which biological variations are reflected. The hematological values are very important for the evaluation of the normal physiological state of an animal. However, very few works have been carried out in this respect on creole asses. The objective of this investigation was to determine the mean values of a hemogram for creoles donkeys of the Colombian lowland. A cross -sectional descriptive study was performed with a non -probabilistic sample for convenience. Samples of 85 male donkeys between 4 and 15 years old were clinically healthy and fed with Brachiaria humidicula pastures. These parameters were obtained by means of a hematological analyzer (ABX Micros ESV 60). The values obtained were: leukocytes 7.6±1.6 x10 3
