PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS ON THE ANATOMICAL LINKS WITHIN THE DONKEY DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Horizons - International Scientific Journal
The domestic donkey (Equus asinus) is descended from the African wild ass (Equus asinus africanus). In most developing countries, donkeys are used to carry goods and water, and to guard herds as livestock guardians.

Structural Characteristics and Immunoregulatory Effects of Colla Corii Asini Peptides with Iron‐Chelating Capacity

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
Ejiao peptides were fractionated to iron‐chelating F2 (enriched in E‐Xn‐P motif), which restored immune function in CTX‐induced immunosuppressed mice via synergistic regulation of immunity and iron homeostasis. ABSTRACT Iron homeostasis is closely related to immune function, yet the structural basis of food‐derived peptides that modulate this iron ...

Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 3, September 2026.
Identification of the inter‐decadal (2010‐2011) enhancement‐degradation gradients in the usable space for wild equid Herd Management Areas in the Great Basin, USA. Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system.

Physiological and behavioural effects of continuous remifentanil‐xylazine administration in donkeys

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1390-1395, September 2026.
Abstract Background Remifentanil and xylazine are used as continuous infusions to facilitate standing surgery in horses. Their use for this purpose has not been reported in donkeys. Objectives To evaluate the behavioural, sedative, and cardiorespiratory effects of continuous intravenous infusion of remifentanil and xylazine in donkeys. Study Design Non‐

Comparative functional morphological study of the tarsal joint mobility in artiodactyls and perissodactyls in light of astragalar morphological differences

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 587-603, September 2026.
This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 560-567, September 2026.
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the

Human‐Carnivore Conflicts and Associated Economic Losses in Villages Adjacent to Jorgo‐Wato Protected Forest, Western Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Conflicts between humans and carnivores were assessed in the nearby settlements of the Jorgo‐Wato Protected Forest. This aimed to identify carnivorous species responsible for livestock depredations, quantify the economic losses resulting from depredations, and identify strategies used by nearby communities to prevent human‐carnivore conflicts in the ...
