    Visiting our partner farm

    Come with us to one of our European partner farms – this is what everyday life with the donkeys looks like.

What is inside

Composition in detail

Our powder is freeze-dried donkey milk – without additives. When you mix it, it becomes donkey milk again. Here you can see what it is made of: from the big picture down to the individual proteins.

Level 1

100 ml donkey milk

100 ml DONKEY MILK
  • Waterapprox. 90.7 g
  • Dry matterapprox. 9.3 g

Around nine tenths is water. That is exactly what we remove during freeze-drying.

Level 2

The dry matter – in other words, your powder

ca. 10 g PER 100 ML
  • Milk sugar (lactose)approx. 6.5 g
  • Proteinapprox. 1.8 g
  • Fatapprox. 0.6 g
  • Mineralsapprox. 0.4 g

Milk sugar makes up the largest part – hence the mild, slightly sweet taste. It contains only a little fat.

Level 3

The proteins in detail

There are around 1.8 g of protein in 100 ml. About half of this is whey protein – including two components that are characteristic of donkey milk.

Characteristic

Lysozyme

ca. 0,1 g / 100 ml

An enzyme that occurs naturally in donkey milk – in a considerably larger amount than in cow’s milk, where it is only present in traces.

Characteristic

Lactoferrin

ca. 0,01 g / 100 ml

An iron-binding milk protein that occurs naturally in milk. Small in quantity, but a typical component.

Whey proteins

β-Lactoglobulin & α-Lactalbumin

ca. 0,5 g / 100 ml

The whey proteins present in the largest quantities. In donkey milk, the whey share of total protein is considerably higher than in cow’s milk.

Casein

Casein

ca. 0,8 g / 100 ml

About half of the protein. For comparison: in cow’s milk, casein makes up around 80 % of the protein.

The same milk – rethought

For moments when a fridge is not an option.

Some of our customers travel a lot, others like to keep a small reserve in the cupboard or portion their donkey milk themselves. That is what our powder is for: from the same farms, milked by hand – except that the milk is freeze-dried instead of frozen.

  1. Long shelf life

    No refrigeration needed – shelf life 12 months (best-before date on the pack).

  2. Portion by portion

    10 g of powder makes about 100 ml – just as much as you need right now.

  3. Freeze-dried

    Frozen at −40 °C and dried under vacuum, not heated.

  4. No cold chain

    Shipped dry and protected from light – handy at home and on the go.

How your powder is made

Frozen at −40 °C. Dried in a vacuum. Not heated.

Our powder is made from the same hand-milked donkey milk as our fresh milk. Instead of heating it, we remove the water in an elaborate process: the milk is deep-frozen, and the ice evaporates in a vacuum without melting first. Experts call this lyophilisation.

  1. 1Fresh milkThe same donkey milk as our fresh milk – from the same small farms, milked by hand.
  2. 2Shock-freezingThe milk is deep-frozen at around −40 °C. Small ice crystals hold the structure of the milk together.
  3. 3Vacuum dryingIn the vacuum, the ice evaporates directly without melting first. Over many hours – without heating the milk.
  4. 4Fine powderWhat remains is the dry matter of the milk: without additives and can be mixed again at any time – shelf life 12 months (best-before date on the pack).

Two ways to make powder

Freeze-drying or spray-drying?

Most milk powders in the world are spray-dried – quickly and efficiently. We have chosen the slower, more elaborate route.

Why so rare

Usually 0.5–1 litre a day, at most around 2 litres – alongside the foal.

Donkey milk is not a mass-market milk. A jenny usually gives 0.5–1 litre a day, at most around 2 litres – in addition to what her foal drinks. Our partners milk by hand, on small farms in Europe.

It takes about one litre of this milk to make 100 g of powder. That is why every pack is the result of a lot of handwork – and why it costs more than supermarket milk powder.

Where our donkeys live

In the herd, on large pastures.

The jennies live in stable herds on the pastures of their farms. For milking, some of them come into the stable for a short time – calmly and by hand. We know every partner farm personally and look at the processes on site.

Donkeys on a large pasture

Large pastures

The jennies live in their herds on open land – with space to move and to rest.

A herd of donkeys in the evening light

Living in herds

Donkeys are social animals. On our partner farms they stay together in their herds – from foal to older jenny.

Jenny with foal

Mother & foal

Some jennies like to retreat into the bushes with their foals. Then the keepers come to them and milk directly on the pasture.

A jenny only gives her milk when she is calm. That's why our partners take their time when milking.

How to mix it

10 g powder. 100 ml water. 30 seconds.

With these four steps your powder turns back into donkey milk – creamy and without lumps.

  1. Step 1

    Weigh

    10 g of powder per 100 ml. Small precision scales measure more accurately than a spoon.

  2. Step 2

    Stir until smooth

    First stir into a paste with a small splash of cold or lukewarm water, then top up to 100 ml.

  3. Step 3

    Let it swell

    Leave to stand for 1–2 minutes and stir again or shake in a closed bottle.

  4. Step 4

    Enjoy

    Ideally lightly chilled at 9–15 °C. Store mixed milk in the fridge and drink promptly.

Please follow the instructions on the packaging.

    Who we are

    We are Brian and Justin Netuschil – two brothers from Lüdinghausen in the Münsterland region. DON DONKEY'S® exists because we believe that such a special natural product should find its way to people who appreciate it.

    We know each of our partner farms personally, talk to the keepers and are here for you ourselves if you have any questions – via WhatsApp, email or phone.

    Karl-Heinz, long-standing DON DONKEY'S customer

    Customer story

    Part of his everyday life for over three years

    When Karl-Heinz came across DON DONKEY'S® more than three years ago, donkey milk was something completely new to him. Out of curiosity, he wanted to try it himself.

    That first encounter became a firm habit: Karl-Heinz has been ordering from us regularly for more than three years. Stories like this mean a lot to us – because behind every order is a person with their own preferences and rituals.

    Frequently asked questions

    Good to know.

    How is the powder delivered?

    Without cold chain, packed dry and protected from light, with DHL – within Germany usually 2–4 working days after dispatch. We ship on Mondays and Wednesdays. Shipping to Germany is free from an order value of €49, to Austria from €100; below that it costs €4.90 (Germany) or €7.90 (Austria).

    How long does the powder keep?

    Shelf life 12 months (best-before date on the pack). After opening, store dry, protected from light and tightly closed. Mixed milk belongs in the fridge and should be drunk promptly.

    How do I mix the powder properly?

    Stir 10 g of powder into a smooth paste with a small splash of cold or lukewarm water, then top up to 100 ml. Leave to swell for 1–2 minutes and stir again – that way no lumps form. It tastes good lightly chilled at 9–15 °C.

    Is the powder pasteurised?

    No. The powder is made from unpasteurised donkey milk, which is frozen at −40 °C and dried under vacuum – without heating. Please follow the instructions on the packaging.

    Can I stir the powder into coffee, tea or cocoa?

    Yes, you can stir the powder into drinks. It can also be used in smoothies, yoghurt or overnight oats.

    Does the powder taste like fresh donkey milk?

    Very similar: mild and slightly sweet. Some people find the mixed milk a touch creamier. It is the same milk from the same farms – just without the water.

    Freeze-drying or spray-drying – what is the difference?

    In spray-drying, the milk is atomised in hot air and dries in seconds. In freeze-drying, it is frozen at −40 °C and the ice turns directly into vapour under vacuum – over many hours and without heating. This takes more effort.

    Why is a litre made from powder cheaper than fresh milk?

    With powder, there is no frozen storage, no dry ice and no express shipping. That is why a litre of donkey milk made from powder costs less than fresh milk – especially noticeable with the large packs.

    Is donkey milk powder suitable for children?

    Donkey milk is not a substitute for breast milk or infant formula and is not intended for infants. Whether and how children drink donkey milk is something to discuss beforehand with your paediatrician – the same applies during pregnancy and in case of illness.

    I have a milk allergy – what should I consider?

    Donkey milk is milk and contains milk protein and lactose. If you have a known milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance, please check with your doctor beforehand whether you can try it.
