03 / THE COST FACTORS

Why is donkey milk so expensive?

The price is determined by the interplay of milk volume, animal husbandry, processing, and shipping.

01

Milk volume

Compared to modern dairy cows, donkey mares produce significantly lower milk volumes.

02

Animal husbandry

Feeding, care, barn space, and veterinary care incur ongoing costs.

03

Processing

Hygiene, filling, packaging, and quality controls are part of production.

04

Shipping

Frozen milk requires suitable packaging and transport conditions.

04 / AVAILABLE MILK VOLUME

Why milk yield affects the price per liter.

Donkey mares produce relatively little milk. The available quantity depends on factors including the lactation phase, husbandry, and individual differences.

In addition, the foal needs milk. Therefore, not all milk production is available for sale.

When ongoing costs are spread over less milk available for sale, the costs per liter increase.

ECONOMIC BACKGROUND

Less available milk. Higher costs per liter.

Unlike large-scale industrial cow milk production, the available production quantities for donkey milk are relatively small.

This is a major reason for the higher price per liter.

06 / VOLUME DISCOUNTS

Why does the price per liter become cheaper with larger quantities?

With larger orders, certain costs for packaging, processing, and logistics can be spread over more milk.

The regular entry price is €199.90 per liter.

With ten liters, the regular price per liter is €169.09.
