Implication

Review highlights poor welfare and limited veterinary access for donkeys, suggesting improved practices and molecular genetics may aid conservation efforts.

Key Points

  • Welfare conditions for Equus asinus remain critically poor across most of Asia, particularly in South Asia.
  • Veterinary access, preventive healthcare, and nutrition are significantly lacking in regions like Pakistan and India.
  • Synthetic analysis suggests that integrating molecular genetics could enhance donkey conservation and improve overall welfare.
  • A coordinated breeding policy in China may serve as a model for improving donkey husbandry and ethics across the continent.
