The 'donkey' still stands as a symbol of humiliation, despite the difficulty of crossing the difficult path and the ability to remember the same paths and find his master in any crowd.

Donkeys that touch each other and enjoy the creativity of nature are a perfect example of symbiotic love. It is very sad that we do not find a market for donkey milk which is as nutritious as breast milk and do not use donkey as a 'farming animal'.

Importance of Donkey Milk

Donkey's milk is rich in vitamins A, B, B1, B12, C and E. Therefore, it is also important for good immunity. It is also used as a cosmetic.

As per the history, Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt has it that she bathed daily in the milk of 700 donkeys to maintain her youth. From this we can understand the glory of donkey milk. Donkey milk, which is rich in antioxidants, has been found to fight premature aging. Donkey's milk contains many nutrients and minerals that help digestion. Donkey's milk is a great remedy for fatigue, asthma, respiratory problems, abdominal pain, eye pain and so on. Donkey milk can also be given to children as it contains as many nutrients as breast milk. It should be noted that donkey milk does not cause any allergies. Donkey's milk should not be boiled like other milk. Can be stored in refrigerators for up to a year. Donkey milk based cosmetics are highly valued in the market.
