How we work

Why donkey milk is so rare

  • Usually 0.5–1 litre a dayThat's how much milk a jenny gives in addition to what her foal drinks. The foal always drinks first.
  • Milked by handIn small quantities on European partner farms – at the animals' own pace.
  • Laboratory-tested in GermanyOur donkey milk is tested in a laboratory in Germany. You'll find the nutritional values on the label.
  • Frozen all the way to youFrozen after milking and shipped frozen with GO! Express – dispatch on Mondays and Wednesdays.

That is why donkey milk costs more than cow's milk. More on this in our article What lies behind price and availability.

    What's in 100 ml of donkey milk

    Nothing added, nothing removed: this is how donkey milk is composed – from the big picture down to the individual proteins.

    Around nine tenths is water

    What makes it special lies in the small remainder – the dry matter.

    100 ml donkey milkDry matter approx. 9.4 g

    The 9.4 g of dry matter

    Lactose, the natural milk sugar, makes up the largest part. Fat is only present in a small proportion.

    • Lactose (milk sugar)approx. 6.4 g
    • Proteinapprox. 1.7 g
    • Fatapprox. 0.9 g
    • Mineralsapprox. 0.4 g

    Protein in detail

    There are around 1.7 g of protein in 100 ml. A large part of this is whey protein – including two components that are characteristic of donkey milk.

    • CharacteristicLysozyme approx. 0.1 g

      A naturally occurring enzyme, described by Alexander Fleming in 1922. Only present in traces in cow’s milk.

    • CharacteristicLactoferrin approx. 0.01 g

      An iron-binding glycoprotein. Small in quantity, but a characteristic component.

    • Whey proteinsβ-Lactoglobulin & α-Lactalbumin approx. 0.5 g

      The whey proteins present in the largest quantities.

    • CaseinCasein approx. 0.8 g

      About half of the protein. For comparison: in cow’s milk it is around 80 %.

    Origin & husbandry

    Where our donkey milk comes from

    Our donkey milk comes from selected partner farms in Europe that we know personally. There the jennies live in their herds on large pastures and are milked by hand – straight from the farm to you, without intermediaries.

    Large pastures

    The jennies live in their herds on open land – with room to move, to rest and to live at their own pace.

    Living in herds

    Donkeys are social animals. On our partner farms they stay together in stable herds – from the foal to the oldest jenny.

    Milking in peace

    Some jennies only come into the stable briefly for milking. If a mother prefers to stay in the bushes with her foal, she is milked right there in the pasture.

    How our partner farms work →

    Our promise

    The foal comes first.

    We often hear one question: what actually happens to the foals? Here is our honest answer – this is how our partner farms handle it.

    1. The first months belong to the foal

      For the first two to three months after birth, the mare is not milked for our milk. This time belongs to mother and foal.

    2. No permanent separation

      Mother and foal are only separated briefly for milking. Afterwards they are reunited straight away.

    3. Small quantities, by hand

      A jenny usually gives 0.5 to 1 litre of milk a day, at most around 2 litres – in addition to what her foal drinks. This is craftsmanship, not mass production.

    To be honestWhat happens when the foals grow up?

    For us, foals are not a by-product of milk production. As they grow up, they stay in the herd or go to other suitable farms, breeders or private donkey keepers.

    We don't promise that we can follow every single foal for its whole life – that would be dishonest. What we do promise: there are clear agreements with our partner farms on how the animals are treated, and we know every farm personally.

    More than milk

    The donkey itself.

    Donkeys are curious, social and have a mind of their own. In short videos we show who is behind the milk.

    Real pictures from the partner farm

    From the milk churn into the bottle

    On the partner farm, the milk is filtered after milking, filled into bottles by hand, sealed and frozen. These shots were taken during a bottling session.

      Donkey milk is a food, not a medicine. If you are considering it during an illness, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for your child, please talk to your doctor first. Donkey milk is not a substitute for breast milk or infant formula.

      Good to know

      Frequently asked questions

      What does donkey milk taste like?

      Mild and slightly sweet, with a rather light consistency. It's best to try it well chilled and pure. More about the taste

      How does the milk get to me – and how do I store it?

      We ship frozen with GO! Express on Mondays and Wednesdays. Within Germany and Austria, delivery takes place 24 hours after dispatch. At home, store the bottles at −18 °C and thaw them slowly in the refrigerator (2–7 °C). Please observe the instructions on the label.

      How do I prepare the donkey milk powder?

      10 g of powder with 90 ml of water makes about 100 ml. The powder needs no cold chain and is shipped with DHL. Please observe the instructions on the label.

      Does donkey milk contain lactose?

      Yes. Donkey milk contains about 6–7 g of lactose per 100 ml, which is rather more than cow's milk (around 4.7 g). It also contains milk protein. If you have lactose intolerance or a milk protein allergy, please check with your doctor beforehand whether donkey milk is suitable for you.

      Why is donkey milk so expensive?

      A jenny usually gives 0.5 to 1 litre of milk a day, at most around 2 litres – in addition to what her foal drinks. Milking is done by hand and in small quantities, plus laboratory testing and frozen express shipping. From 1 litre the price per 100 ml goes down, and in the Vitalprogramm you save 30% on every delivery.
