Therefore, the current study aimed at phenotypic characterization of Nganda (NGA) and Teso Zebu (TSZ) in Uganda. Data were collected on 41 variables including geographic location, breed and morphometric measurements. A sample of 129 NGA from central and 63 TSZ from eastern Uganda were studied. Descriptive and inferential statistics were generated. Generally, the NGA was a chest-humped breed akin to its parent breeds. The breed had a solid brown coat and extremities (e.g., hooves) compared to the wide color variation tending to solid black in the TSZ. The NGA had significantly (p < 0.05) higher mean values for all linear body measurements except height at withers. However, all linear measurements except ear length were significantly (p < 0.05) affected by the interaction between breed and sex. The rump profile showed distinct breed differences. Our results demonstrate superiority of NGA over the TSZ in terms of linear traits. These results are pertinent in planning the sustainable utilization of these breeds.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100464,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Animal Species","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100040"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772813723000197/pdfft?md5=0d333d62bcc7d638703734d4433f45d1&pid=1-s2.0-S2772813723000197-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139395436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During participant interactions with horses, it is important to consider the risks that equines pose as they are animals prone to fight and flight behaviors. The Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International recommends that equines should be evaluated for suitability to participate in EAS prior to their participation so that the risks associated with equine-human interactions can be properly managed. To assess equines for EAS, the Basic Ground Skills Assessment (BGSA) was developed and subsequently tested for validity and reliability. Fourteen lesson horses were assessed on BGSA competencies by an EAS professional. Heart rate, an indicator of stress levels that is correlated to safe and unsafe equine behaviors, was collected throughout the testing and compared to each horse’s average BGSA scores as assigned by the rater. This comparison demonstrated that the BGSA was a valid (<em>r</em> = −0.947, <em>p</em> < .001) predictor of equine stress levels and thus a valid indicator of horse behavior. Additionally, two EAS professionals rated a horse using the BGSA to determine inter- and intra-rater reliability. Score comparisons revealed that inter-rater reliability was moderate (κ = 0.769; <em>p</em> < .018) and intra-rater reliability was moderate (κ = 0.769; <em>p</em> < .018).
