Quality of donkey mammary secretion during the first ten days of lactation

International Dairy Journal, 2020
Abstract The physico-chemical characteristics and somatic cell count of donkey mammary secretion during the first ten days after foaling were analysed. During this period, a decreasing trend was observed for protein, dry matter and ash levels. The lowest values for lactose and pH were detected in the first hours (4.01 g 100 mL−1 of milk and 6.69 pH ...

Dietary verbascoside supplementation in donkeys: effects on milk fatty acid profile during lactation, and serum biochemical parameters and oxidative markers

Animal, 2017
Various uses of donkeys’ milk have been recently proposed for human consumption on the basis of its nutritional characteristics. Improvements in milk fatty acid profile and animal oxidative status can be induced through dietary supplementation of ...

Duct‐level evaluation of mammary gland health, somatic cell count and bacterial flora in lactating jennies

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Assessing mammary gland health in donkeys is challenging due to the lack of species‐specific diagnostic criteria for subclinical mastitis. Although somatic cell count (SCC) is widely used in dairy ruminants, its diagnostic value in jennies remains unclear.

Profile and content of sialylated oligosaccharides in donkey milk at early lactation

LWT, 2019
Abstract Animal milk oligosaccharides can be used as bioactive ingredients in functional foods and infant milk formulas. Donkey milk is already considered a functional food and a possible substitute for human milk. The aim of this study was to identify the structure and abundance of sialylated milk oligosaccharides from five Amiata donkeys during ...

A multi-approach study of the performance of dairy donkey during lactation: preliminary results [PDF]

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
Donkey milk is known for some nutritional and nutraceutical peculiarities compared to the milks traditionally used for human nutrition. Moreover although the number of studies on donkey milk production has increased the asinine species still remains little investigated. This is the first study providing a multiple assessment approach in order to extend
