Date : November 29-December 3 - 2010
Location: New Delhi, India

The 2010 International Colloquium on Working Equids will be a unique gathering where keynote speakers from the worlds of international development, social science, human health and education will interact with animal scientists, veterinarians, project managers and field workers from the world of working horses, donkeys and mules. The interdisciplinary approach is set to deliver a ground-breaking and thought-provoking conference that will use the theme of ‘Learning from Others’ to explore new approaches to benefit working animals and their owners in the developing world. There are 100 million working horses, donkeys and mules in the world. Ninety-five per cent of all donkeys and 60 per cent of horses are found in developing nations. The majority are owned by individuals who use them as their sole means of income. Working animals are integral to rural transport systems and food production, distribution and security.
