Who
are we?
TAWS started as an informal
group of vets who wanted to use their specialist knowledge to improve the long term
health, welfare and management of draught and transport animals.
Why
TAWS is needed
v
Many of the
world’s poorest people are dependent on horses, oxen, donkeys, camels, mules and
buffaloes to cultivate land and transport goods and people.
v
Poor feed,
lameness, harness sores, parasites and poor breeding can cause great suffering to the
animals and reduce their performance.
v
Much is known
about animal health, welfare and management BUT it is poorly disseminated to communities
in the third world.
