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.
