Rare Donkey Milk- Feature report

August 26, 2024

Donkey milk has been around for thousands of years, but it has made a major comeback recently for its exceptional nutritional qualities and health benefits. Donkey milk tastes equivalent to mother milk with no smell. It is low in fat, has medicinal and ayurvedic advantages, and improves immunity in children. The milk is good for cardiovascular and heart patients. Donkey milk is believed to rejuvenate skin and eliminate wrinkles from the face. With numerous advantages, it has some downsides too, viz., donkey milk has a high lactose content of about 5%, hence, it may not be ideal for adults with lactose intolerance or gastric problems. There have been reports of allergies and health issues. Lack of certifications is also driving people out of this business.
