Overview

The review highlights genetic diversity and productivity of donkey breeds in China and globally, suggesting conservation strategies.

Key Points

  • To compare donkey genetic resources and industrial utilization across China and globally.
  • Systematic review of donkey breeds in China and internationally.
  • Comparison of genetic resources and characteristics among regions.
  • Evaluation of phenotypic, reproductive traits, and adaptive capacities.
  • Chinese donkey breeds face genetic erosion and declining populations.
  • Greater stability in European and Mediterranean donkey populations due to effective conservation.
  • Region-specific selection impacts body size, adaptability, and productivity.
