Key Points

Lower late-gestation dietary energy significantly elevated postpartum plasma calcium, phosphorus, and zinc concentrations alongside multiple milk minerals in lactating jennies.
Assessment of twenty-four pregnant DeZhou jennies receiving diets varying from 11.39 to 12.54 MJ/kg tracked plasma and manual milk collections through two weeks postpartum.
Highlights that moderate energy restriction enhances maternal mineral transfer into milk; donkey model, warranting further validation across diverse commercial management systems.
