Abstract
The aim of this study was to a clinical, morphological of deformation dorsal neck edge on donkeys Andalusian in Bodonal de la Sierra, Extremadura, Spain. We studied a total of 31 donkeys. Clinical examination was performed and morphological considering weight and body condition was measured cervical perimeter. Deformation of the dorsal edge of the neck in all cases studied was evident. Morphological study was to consider the deformation of the dorsal edge of the neck considering the crest of the neck (score of 1 to 5) evidenced. 0 and 1 score-no donkey under these categories. Score 2 - 42 % Score. 3 - 32% score. 4 - 3 % and score 5 - 23%. The statistical results of the peso versus the cervical neck circumference showed a correlation coefficient of 0.773 and the score grade obese neck and body condition was 0.240. In conclusion lesions consistent with deformation of the dorsal edge of the neck in Andalusian breed donkeys were observed.

Las observaciones del perímetro cervical y desviación del borde dorsal del cuello directamente están asociadas con la obesidad de los burros estudiados, a mayor grado de obesidad mayor puntuación de perímetro cervical y mayor grado de deformación del borde dorsal del cuello
Summary
The aim of this study was to a clinical, morphological of deformation dorsal neck edge on donkeys Andalusian in Bodonal de la Sierra, Extremadura, Spain. La región dorsal del cuello es uno de los lugares anatómicos para la deposición de grasa en el caballo. La deformación del borde dorsal del cuello (DBDC), es una condición que tiene gran repercusión clínica y económica (Ruiz López, et al, 2010), que se presenta en caballos de Pura Raza Española y en otras razas como la Lusitana.
