Draft animals are domesticated animals used for pulling heavy loads or performing work tasks. Common examples include horses, oxen, and donkeys. These animals are trained to assist in agriculture, transportation, and construction, making them valuable assets in many cultures. The strength and endurance of draft animals allow them to perform tasks that would be difficult for humans alone. They can pull plows, carts, and other equipment, helping to increase efficiency in farming and other labor-intensive activities. Their use has been essential throughout history, especially before the advent of modern machinery.
