Donkeys--miniature, Standard, and Mammoth by Stephen R. Purdy Pdf

Addressing a common misconception, this handbook explains that donkeys are not horses and that the two kinds of animals are genetically and anatomically quite different. Carefully laying out the special physiological and environmental needs of donkeys, the book educates owners, would-be owners, and breeders about how best to care for their charges while also providing clear technical information on donkey anatomy and behavior, diseases, breeding, and general husbandry. Written with affection for donkeys and their antics, the book goes a long way toward preventing common and sometimes dire mistakes in caring for these interesting animals.

Donkey by Jill Bough Pdf

Though donkeys have historically been among our most useful domesticated animals—from plowing fields to navigating difficult terrain—they have been much maligned in popular culture and given very little respect. So much so, that their perceived qualities of stupidity and stubbornness have made their way into the language of insult. But in Donkey, Jill Bough champions this humble creature, proving that after 10,000 years of domestication, this incredibly hard-working animal deserves our appreciation. Bough reveals the animal’s historic significance in Ancient Egypt, where it was once highly regarded—even worshipped. However, this elevated status did not endure in Ancient Greece and Rome, where donkeys were denigrated, ridiculed, and abused. Since that time, donkeys have continued to be associated with the poorest and most marginalized in human societies. All that time and all over the world, donkeys continue to be used for innumerable tasks, and even today, donkeys are considered to be one of the best draught animals in developing nations, where they continue to make a vital contribution. Bough rounds out her account with a look at the variety of social, cultural, and religious meanings that donkeys have embodied, especially in literature and art. With accounts that are both fascinating and touching, this cultural history of the donkey will inspire a new respect and admiration for this essential creature.

Anatomical Differences of the Donkey, Mule, and Horse by Horst Wissdorf,Hassen Jerbi,Miriam Meier-Schellersheim Pdf

As the number of donkey and mule patients continually rises, so too increases the necessity for practicing veterinarians to expand their knowledge on these often overlooked animals. Donkeys are not small horses, and as such, there are numerous anatomical findings in both donkeys and mules differing from those of horses, and thus often complicating, or even preventing, conventional treatment methods. The object of the book at hand is to depict these differences through both descriptions and images of dissected and living specimens, often with direct comparisons to the situation found in horses, in order to increase the learning effect. This book is not only relevant for veterinarians, but also of interest to owners and breeders. Information on weight calculation, for example, is helpful in preventing the unfortunately common-place obesity which can later lead to clinical issues such as fatty liver. Overall, knowledgeable owners are more likely to have healthy, well-cared for animals.
