Article Abstract
Aim: This study aims to record and update the prevalence and intensity of external and internal parasites in working donkeys () in Egypt during the period from January to December 2017.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 donkeys (10 donkeys each month) were examined at Giza zoo abattoir through bimonthly visits. The examined donkeys were obtained from five governorates (Giza [20], Fayoum [40], Beni Suef [30], Monofia [20], and Assiut [10]). The animals were grouped according to age and sex.
Results: All examined donkeys were positive with at least one internal or even external parasitic species. The overall prevalence rate was 100%. A total of 11 helminths species (10 nematodes and 1 metacestode); 7 protozoal and 7 arthropod species were collected. The number of each parasite and intensity of infection with regard to age and sex was recorded.
Conclusion: All examined donkeys were infected with parasites with an overall prevalence of 100%. So, we recommended following up and continuous treatment of such diseased animal.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is widely utilized as a routine treatment for chronic musculoskeletal conditions in horses, such as osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, and desmopathies. This effectiveness stems from the high concentration of growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines that are released upon activation of this orthobiologic agent, whether activated endogenously or exogenously. Despite its growing popularity, there is a notable absence of instructional videos that demonstrate the techniques for obtaining PRP in horses.

Focusing on donkeys, this paper examines the type and scope of 'work' undertaken by working equids in three very different contexts in the United Kingdom, Europe and the Global South (case studies). Drawing on the concepts of 'animal work' and 'nonhuman labour' as discussed by critical theorists such as Porcher, Estebanez, Coulter, Barua and others we aim to: (i) Elaborate on the concept of 'shared work' by bringing key animal welfare concepts into dialogue with emerging literature on animal labour through a relational theoretical lens; (ii) Explore the nature of equid work including its physicality, and also the freedoms and opportunities that are afforded to equids (in terms of rest, play and kinship); (iii) Illustrate how work may be experienced by the equids themselves, using vignettes based on 'more-than-human' ethnographic fieldwork so as to foreground the equid perspective and illuminate questions of agency, sentience and subjectivity.
