Inspectors documented numerous apparent violations of laws and guidelines. Most of the facilities were not even registered with the Indian Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA) to conduct these procedures on animals. Pregnant mares and foals were found at some facilities that were not officially registered as breeders.

The Indian Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, requires people who are responsible for animals to take all reasonable measures to ensure their well-being and to prevent unnecessary pain or suffering. But inspectors found that the animals in these facilities suffered from health problems and were fearful and anxious. When approached by humans, many of them struggled to get away. Common physical problems included diseased hooves, malnourishment, infections, parasites, swollen limbs, abnormal gaits, and eye abnormalities such as blindness. Basic husbandry procedures such as dental care and hoof trimming appeared to be ignored, and improper tools were used for grooming.

The facilities often used painfully large needles—larger than the size recommended by CPCSEA guidelines—in order to collect blood more quickly.

The CPCSEA guidelines state that horses and other equines need sand baths, daily exercise, daily grooming, the opportunity to socialise, open fields for grazing, and clean bedding for respite from hard concrete floors. But the animals at these facilities were typically kept in crowded, barren enclosures and often tied with ropes that severely limited their movement. Many were forced to stand and lie in their own urine and feces, and some suffered from "capped elbow," a painful inflammation and swelling of the joint caused by lying on hard floors.

You can help prevent horses, mules, and donkeys from being abused by urging the Indian Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change and the CPCSEA to deny or cancel the facilities' animal-experimentation registration renewals and immediately revoke their licences to manufacture biological products. Please also urge the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology and the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to encourage companies to use non-animal methods of antitoxin and antivenin production.
