This systematic review assesses microbiological characteristics of donkey milk, highlighting its probiotic potential in vulnerable populations.

Donkey milk shows a rich microbial composition, mainly beneficial lactic acid bacteria, indicating its probiotic potential.
The review highlights microbiological characteristics based on empirical data from studies published from 2010 to 2024.
While some opportunistic bacteria were found, they typically occur at low levels under certain conditions.
Findings underscore the importance of hygienic practices to maintain donkey milk's microbiological integrity and safety.

Plotuna et al. (2025) studied this question.
