Body condition score of horses wearing radio collars, weekly behavior data of treatments and controls, and monthly descriptive data of collar and radio tag effects, 2015-2016, Oklahoma, USA
April 20, 2020
These data are from a study of wild horses and burros wearing radio collars in a captive facility in Oklahoma, USA, for one year. We also evaluated radio transmitter tags (braided into the mane and tails of horses but not burros). We recorded behavior, body condition score, and effects of collars on the necks of horses and burros wearing radio collars and of horses and burros not wearing collars (controls), and recorded any behavioral effects from small radio transmitters on the mane and tails of horses to evaluate effects. These data provide recorded results of behavior, body condition score, and any physical neck effects from radio collars, during weekly and monthly monitoring sessions from February 2015 to March 2016.

Evaluation of the impacts of radio-marking devices on feral horses and burros in a captive setting
Radio-collars and other radio-marking devices have been invaluable tools for wildlife managers for >40 years. These marking devices have improved our understanding of wildlife spatial ecology and demographic parameters and provided new data facilitating model development for species conservation and management. Although these tools have been used on virtually all North American ungulates...
