This volume covers many comtemporary research obervations on the management and use of working animals in tropical agricultural systems. Topics includes studies of oxen, donkeys and camels in Sub-Saharan Africa, cows and donkeys in Ethiopia, buffaloes in Vietnam, camels in Libya and horses and donkeys in Southern Italy. Technical issues in nutritional requirement, feeding, management, health, implement, work practices and harnessing are discussed and the contribution that working animals continue to make in many agricultural and transport activities are quantified. The book should be a valuable source of reference materials on draught animal technology for any scientist, student or extension worker in rural and urban areas where animal power is found.
