Owners’ Knowledge and Approaches to Colic in Working Equids in Honduras.

Abstract: In Honduras, many families are reliant on working equids in their daily life. The aim of this study was to evaluate knowledge about, and approaches to colic used by owners of working equids in Choluteca, Honduras using a phenomenological approach. Semi-structured, verbal questionnaires were conducted with ninety-three owners from eleven different communities in the Choluteca region on equid horse owners' knowledge of colic and treatments. Additional context was gained through observations and verbal questionnaires with three veterinary practitioners and eight agricultural pharmacy (agrovet) store owners. Working equids were commonly used for firewood collection 31% (40/126), transportation 24% (30/126), and carrying crops 13% (17/126). Thirty-eight percent of owners (35/92) said they did not know what colic was, 27% (24/89) could not name any clinical signs, and 46% (42/92) could not name any causes. Most owners with previous experience of colic had treated it themselves 79% (53/67), typically using herbal remedies. Colic was a major concern for owners of working equids who had prior experience or knowledge of the condition. Knowledge and understanding of colic varied, and access to evidence-based treatments was very limited. The findings will be used to inform the development of educational resources on colic in working equids.

Summary

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.

This research paper examines the knowledge and management of equine colic among owners of working horses in Choluteca, Honduras. It finds a general lack of knowledge about the condition, its symptoms, and causes and limited access to evidence-based treatments. Most owners tend to self-treat the condition, often using herbal remedies.

Research setup

  • Researchers conducted semi-structured verbal questionnaires with ninety-three owners from eleven communities in the Choluteca region of Honduras.
  • The questionnaires focused on horse owners’ understanding of colic and how they treat it.
  • Additional data was collected through observations and questionnaires with three veterinary practitioners and eight agricultural pharmacy (agrovet) store owners.

Usage of Working Equids

  • The research highlighted that working equines are primarily used for collecting firewood (31%), transportation (24%), and carrying crops (13%).
  • The findings indicate the dependence of the local population on these animals for daily survival and substantiate the significance of horse health in these communities.

Knowledge and Perception of Colic

  • The study found that 38% of the owners did not know what colic was, and 27% could not name any of its clinical signs, demonstrating a significant knowledge gap.
  • Furthermore, 46% were unable to identify any causes of the condition, indicating a lack of understanding about the disease’s etiology among the local population.

Treatment Approaches towards Colic

  • The research further highlighted that most owners with previous experience of colic had treated it themselves (79%), primarily utilizing herbal remedies.
  • This suggests a reliance on traditional treatments and potentially a lack of access to, or trust in, conventional veterinary services.

Overall Assessment and Recommendations

  • Colic was considered a major concern for horse owners who had previous experience or knowledge of the condition.
  • However, the variability in understanding and limited access to evidence-based treatments suggest that more educational resources may be necessary to improve horse health.
  • The study provides valuable insights and provides a basis for the development of appropriate educational materials on colic in working equids for these communities.
