I'm writing a university paper on donkeys for the collection of milk and its use in cosmetic products, and also on the use of donkeys for tourism, livestock protection or even as a means to clear the bush. I need information about it and about the sustainability of their production.
Thank you for your response. The work that I am conducting is only theoretical, but your opinion is very important and will be an aspect that will take into account, it will be one of my goals to achieve, make this the production most sustainable possible. If you know any literature on this area and if you could provide me, I would be very grateful.
maybe you should "go south" to seek information: try a google-search on "latte di asina"?
One very intersting hit leads to the following overview publication:
FONDAZIONE INIZIATIVE ZOOPROFILATTICHE E ZOOTECNICHE BRESCIA Eugenio Milonis Paolo Polidori LATTE DI ASINA produzione, caratteristiche e gestione dell’azienda asinina
ISBN 978-88-904416-6-0
c Fondazione Iniziative Zooprofilattiche e Zootecniche - Brescia, marzo 2011
Tipografia Camuna - Brescia 2011

It's written in Italian, but you could try to contact the authors and ask if there is a Summary or a publication in English?
In Italy some farmers have started in rearing donkey for milk production.
If you search for 'Latte di Asina' and 'Asino Ragusano' you find informations
More, at the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale Lazio e Toscana (Roma) ask to dr. Giacinti Giuseppina ([email protected]), and you can also ask to Prof. Daniela Beghelli, Prof. Paolo Polidori, Prof. Donata Marletta, and visit the websites www.lattediasina.org/ , www.montebaducco.it/ , www.anisn.it/...2011/.../Atti_del_convegno%20latte%20di%20asina.pdf
Enjoy donkey milk :-)
