dc.description.abstractDonkeys are associated with poor people and their status in areas where they are used is often low. However, donkeys are disease resistant, have survived where other animals could have perished and are regarded as docile and friendly. They are suitable for women to use. Oxen and horses demand much attention from their owners. Oxen are edible, susceptible to diseases, and have social value as symbols of wealth and influence. The monetary value of oxen appreciates over time. Due to lack of appropriate harnesses, plows and carts, institutional weaknesses and financial limitations, our ability to use donkeys efficiently is limited. Apparent ‘myths’ in donkey traction are a function of our inability to understand donkeys and their potential. False perceptions about donkeys can be removed through interventions such as awareness campaigns, appropriate technological, financial, extension and trainingen_US
