Abstract

Este estudio evalúa el bienestar de equinos de trabajo en el Parque Nacional Chirripó, Costa Rica, y cuantifica su contribución económica a la comunidad. Se emplea una herramienta específica para evaluar el bienestar animal, considerando aspectos como condición corporal, hidratación, salud y relación con los humanos. Los resultados indican un buen estado general de bienestar en los equinos, aunque se identifican problemas como el sobrecrecimiento de cascos y algunas lesiones. Mediante encuestas a los arrieros y análisis de datos, se determina que los equinos generan ingresos significativos para las familias de la comunidad. El estudio concluye que el bienestar animal está estrechamente ligado a la sostenibilidad económica de las familias y subraya la importancia de implementar programas de bienestar para garantizar la salud y el rendimiento de estos animales.
