  1. AVTRW, ASF, BSAS Annual Conference, University of Nottingham 4-5 April 2011 Identification of the Influence of Moisture Content on the Mechanical Properties Across the Stratum medium of Donkey Hoof HornLyn Hopegood, Simon Collins, John Reilly

  2. Materials and Methods • Clippings from the LF of 5 donkeys • Samples milled • Samples divided at 25%, 50% and 75% of hoof wall depth • Tested by 3 point bending at differing moisture contents

  3. Results and Conclusions Moduli of Elasticity of Donkey Hoof Horn at Different Levels of Moisture Content

  4. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Donkey Sanctuary Generous sponsorship for PhD studentships Post-Doctoral Research Funding Dodson and Horrell Ltd Donation of image analysis equipment
