Dynamic changes in fecal microbiota in donkey foals during weaning: From pre-weaning to post-weaning [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionA better understanding of the microbiota community in donkey foals during the weaning transition is a prerequisite to optimize gut function and improve feed efficiency. The objective of the present study was to investigate the dynamic changes

Multiple cesarean section in Jenny [PDF]
BMC Veterinary ResearchBackground Jenny dystocia occurs very rarely and is associated mainly with postural defects due to long fetal extremities. However, the management of dystocia in equines is relatively difficult compared with that in other large animals.

Growth performance, nutrient digestibility, fecal microbial diversity and volatile fatty acid, and blood biochemical indices of suckling donkeys fed diets supplemented with multienzymes [PDF]
BMC Veterinary ResearchBackground As the foal grows, the amount of breast milk produced by the donkey decreases. In such cases, early supplemental feeding is particularly important to meet the growth needs of the foal.

Differences of the Plasma Total Lipid Fraction from Pre-Foaling to Post-Foaling Period in Donkeys [PDF]
Animals, 2022 The period from late gestation to early lactation is characterized by changes in energy metabolism. The aim of the current study was to analyze the plasma total lipid fraction using gas chromatography (GC) analysis, in order to highlight metabolic changes from the pre-foaling to post-foaling periods. Eleven pluriparous dairy jennies (mean age of 11.88 ±
