Both donkeys and mules are commonly used as beasts of burden, carrying both goods and people. Mules can vary a great deal in size and strength. These characteristics in mules are essentially determined by the size of their mother. A larger horse will tend to produce larger mules. Donkeys can...
Expression of horse and donkey LH in COS-7 cells: evidence for low FSH activity in donkey LH compared with horse LH. Horse (Equus caballus) luteinizing hormone (eLH) and chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG), which have the same amino acid sequence, are unusual in that, although ... Chopineau,Ma...
A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. Mules generally have the size and shape of a horse with the long ears and short mane of a donkey. There is some variety in size and color. They are good pack animals, meaning they can be used to transport loads. Because...
For a comparison, we aligned these Illumina reads obtained for the donkey genome [36] against the EquCab2.0 genome and obtained 538,783,052 mapped reads (with a mean depth coverage of 15.85 X). A summary of the mapped donkey Ion Proton and Illumina reads on the horse...
(1994), wherein three horses required only 60 to 80 min of chewing per kg of NDF when fed various types of hay, with the smallest horse chewing longest, would suggest that the allometry holds. Similarly, Hintz et al. (1989)found that horses consumed grain nearly twice as fast as ...
The donkeys were used in this study for the following reasons: First, it is a draft and working animal that is prone to tendon injury due to overuse. The second reason is that the donkey is considered a good model for horse injuries. The results of this study revealed the promoting ...
Therefore, the main goal of this research was to investigate the similarities between donkey and human milk after six months of lactation with respect to the lipid composition, milk fat globule particle size distribution, antioxidant activity, and mineral content. These ...

babesiosis/piroplasmosis and African horse sickness—discussing their epidemiology, pathology and current distribution. While these infections may not on their own account for the donkey’s absence from southern Africa, I argue that the dangers they pose toE. asinusrequire us to include them in any...
Interestingly, though, despite the phytogenic proximity between horse and donkey species [24], sucrose requirements for vitrification of stallion sperm showed to be much lower than that of in donkeys. It has been reported the upper limit of sucrose concentration to be 0.02 M in stallions [24],...
