Under 30% load

Is under correct please?

When carrying 15 and 20% of their body weight, the horses showed relatively little indication of stress. It's when they were packing weights of 25% that physical signs changed markedly, and these became accentuated under 30% loads.

Thanks

Under is fine. I would use the phrasing "under loads of 30%" to avoid the question of whether or not to hyphenate 30%(-)loads.
