V.M., D.V.S.M., FR. C. VS. Profesor de Patología Animal Universidad de Cambridge El burro o el asno, Equus asinus, es un ejemplo de libertad sin límites en el mundo salvaje, pero si viven en cautividad, a menudo son objeto de esclavitud, explotación, desnutrición, abuso fisico y abuso general. El burro, que no merece este tratamiento, desempeña un importante papel en la provisión de energía para la producción agrícola mendiante tracción para el cultivo y transporte del producto. Puede ser que el mundo occidental no aprecie la labor del burro, junto con la de otros animales de trabajo, en la provisión de alimentos a una población mundial que según se prevé, alcanzará 8 000 millones de habitantes a mediados del siglo que viene. Por ello tendremos que producir tanto alimento en los próximos 25 años, como se ha hecho durante los últimos 10 000 años. Por este motivo, la salud y el bienestar del burro serán muy importantes para aquellos que dependan del animal para mantenerse. Si un burro enferma o se muere, la familia que lo tiene puede pasar por grandes dificultades e incluso tragedias si no logra recuperarse. La declaración Alma Ata, de 1978, de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, reconoció el papel de la agricultura y de los animales de trabajo en el objetivo de "Salud para todos en el año 200”, sin duda el burro desempeñará un papel importante, aunque no reconocido, para que se alcance esa meta. En el mundo occidental, el burro pasó por su peor fase en el síglo XIX, cuando, por ejemplo, en el Reino Unido, el "caballo del pobre" se usaba para todos los propósitos. En la actualidad, su papel ha cambiado al de animales de compañía, paseos para niños en las playas, animales para empujar carros de niños o animales de exhibición. Sin embargo, aún hay mucha ignorancia y mitos falsos respecto de las 6MANUAL PROFESIONAL DEL BURRO necesidades de los burros y su salud y bienestar, que se resumen en estos versos de G. K. Chesterton: Con una cabeza monstruosa y un llanto enfermizo Y orejas como vientos errantes Entre todos los seres de cuatro patas, Va la parodia andante del demonio. Sin embargo, ahora se ha cambiado mucho la actitud para mejorar el tratamiento y los comentarios a menudo injustos y difamatorios sobre el burro. Este Manualprofesionaldel burro constituye una fuente de información completa y necesaria sobre el cuidado del burro, así como el origen de éste, su tratamiento y su nutrición. Tengo confianza en que este libro será muy útil en el ámbito internacional, ya que representa una guía completa sobre la salud del burro, basada en hechos. Gran parte de la información es exclusiva y casi nunca figura en libros de textos referentes a caballos. Estoy orgulloso del Refugio de los Burros por su iniciativa en producir esta nueva edición actualizada, que no sólo ayudará al burro, sino que también promoverá la salud y el bienestar de aquellas personas que dependen del burro. PREFACIO Dra. Elisabeth D. Svendsen, M.B.E. el burro y la mula no sólo han sido los animales más usados, sino también los más abusados de la historia. El burro ha sido explotado por el hombre durante cientos de años, pero a pesar de ello, hasta ahora poco se ha hecho para estudiar cualquier aspecto relativo a este equino. Grandes sumas se han invertido en el estudio de caballos por sus ricos propietarios, pero el dueño del burro en el extranjero pertenece a las clases sociales más bajas, a menudo incapaces de permitirse la sanidad para sus hijos, y mucho menos tratamiento veterinario para el burro. Incluso hoy, el burro estoico y trabajador no es comprendido por su dueño y, por desgracia, también a menudo por los veterinarios. En los países en vías de desarrollo, la pobreza de los propietarios de este tipo de animales, impide que los veterinarios sean consultados, y en países m ' ás prósperos donde se ofrece atención veterinaria, este profesional tiende a tratar al burro como si fuera un caballo pequeño. En un intento de corregir esta situación, el Refugio de los Burros, produjo el Manualprofesional del burro, en 1986, con las contribuciones de expertos de varios campos. Sus conocimientos han tenido un impacto en el bienestar del burro en el mundo. Hemos distribuido este Ebro gratuitamente a casi todas las universidades que cuentan con la disciplina de las ciencias veterinarias. Hasta ahora este manual es la única guía de formación sobre burros disponible a estudiantes. El Manual profiesional del burro contiene información basada en la experiencia del Departamento de Veterinaria y de los herreros del Refugio, y aporta consejos prácticos y profesionales sobre nutrición, cuidado del pasto, tratamiento, exhibiciones, reproducción, etc. Además menciona las leyes de protección del burro aprobadas en el Reino Unido, los problemas de los burros en el extranjero, así como las inmensas compensaciones en cuanto al cariño y la lealtad que este encantador equino tiene que ofrecer.

Aaseista on saatavilla kaiken kaikkiaankin melko vähän tietoa ja suomeksi tietoa on saatavilla vain muutamista lähteistä. Työn toimeksiantajana toimii Suomen aasiyhdistys ry. Työssä on käytetty pääasiassa luotettavia kirjallisia lähteitä ja aasin omistajien haastatteluja. Haastatteluilla on pyritty keräämään ajantasaista ja Suomen oloihin soveltuvaa tietoa aasin hoidosta ja ruokinnasta. Haastat- teluilla on myös pyritty saamaan esiin sitä hiljaista tietoa, jota aaseja pal- jon hoitaneilla on. Tärkeää aasin hoidossa ja ruokinnassa on muistaa aasin alkuperäinen elinympäristö puoliaavikko. Aasi on kehittynyt elämään karuissa ja kui- vissa oloissa. Aasin hyvinvoinnin varmistamiseksi aasia tulisi hoitaa mah- dollisimman samalla tavalla kuin miten se luonnossa eläisi. Kesyaasi on melko alkukantainen eläin. Aasi tarvitsee pieniä annoksia kuitupitoista re- hua monta kertaa päivässä, puhdasta vettä ja kivennäisiä. Lisäksi aasi tar- vitsee päivittäin liikuntaa, kuukausittain kavioiden hoitoa, noin neljä ker- taa vuodessa madotuksen ja kahden vuoden välein jäykkäkouristusroko- tuksen. Aaseja hoidetaan usein kuten hevosia. Aasissa ja hevosessa on kui- tenkin merkittäviä eroja ruokinnassa ja käyttäytymisessä. Aasin hoidossa ja käsittelyssä on tärkeää tuntea aasien käyttäytymistä, jotta osaa toimia oikein. Aasi ei ole tyhmä eläin ja oikein käsiteltäessä se on mukava harras- tuseläin ja lemmikki. Aasien kanssa voi harrastaa monenlaisia asioita mm. ratsastaa, ajaa käryillä, vaeltaa ja hypätä esteitä.
