Estos cambios en su calidad de vida originan, en algunos ejemplares, un comportamiento inadecuado que complica su manejo, volviéndolo en ocasiones peligroso. El bienestar animal es un área de investigación cada vez más extendida que se preocupa por analizar en qué condiciones viven los animales domésticos y de granja, para intentar mejorarlas favoreciendo así su calidad de vida y evitar los efectos adversos o estresantes que puedan generar alteraciones en su salud. Hay otros factores que pueden provocar alteraciones del comportamiento durante el manejo de los caballos como son las alteraciones hormonales, cambios metabólicos, exposición a estímulos nuevos o estresantes, cambios de rutinas, traumas psicológicos, patologías dolorosas, entre otros.

Se trata de una técnica reconocida por la Organización Mundial de Salud, desde el año 1979, como medio de tratamiento eficaz para diversas enfermedades y trastornos...
In daily work with horses, they show many different behaviours when handling them that have an impact on our safety as professionals.The domestication of Equus caballus has involved a series of modifications in the way of life and routines or activities for this species. These changes in their quality of life have, in some cases, led to inappropriate behaviour which complicates their handling and sometimes makes it dangerous. Animal wellbeing is an increasingly expanding area of research that involves analysing the conditions in which domestic and farm animals live in order to try to improve them and, thus, enhance their quality of life and prevent the adverse or stressful effects that may alter their health. There are other factors that can produce behavioural alterations when handling horses such as hormonal alterations, metabolic changes, exposure to new or stressful stimuli, changes in routines, psychological traumas, painful pathologies, etc. When faced with these inappropriate behaviours and possible risks for professionals who must handle them, sedatives are often used. A number of studies outline the adverse effects of this practice which is sometimes excessive and unnecessary.Traditional Chinese Medicine can offer many benefits in this area. It is a technique that has been recognised by the World Health Organitation since 1979, as an effective means of treatment for various diseases and illnesses...
