AB  - &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This study aimed to establish baseline physiological parameters specifically temperature, pulse, and respiratory &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;rates of donkey foals as part of the mandates of Equine and Camel Research Programme at the National Animal &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Production Research Institute (N.A.P.R.I) in ABU Shika-Zaria. The research involved 12 colts monitored from &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;birth up to one year of age. Measurements of vital parameters were recorded daily in the morning, yielding mean &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;values of 36.82 ± 1.03 °C for temperature, 62.03 ± 14.73 beats per minute for pulse rate, and 32.38 ± 12.4 cycles &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;per minute for respiratory rate. Descriptive statistical methods, including mean, standard deviation, minimum, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;and maximum values, were utilized to analyze the collected data using Graphpad Prism version 8.0. The findings &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;suggest that these established physiological values should be considered alongside other reported metrics when &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;clinicians conduct physical examinations and interpret physiological data for colts. This study contributes &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;essential reference points for veterinary practice and enhances understanding of normal physiological ranges in &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;this species.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
