Donkey milk has attracted attention due to its distinctive nutritional composition and potential health advantages, particularly because of its whey protein content, which includes lysozyme, α-lactalbumin, lactoferrin, and β-lactoglobulin and vitamin C, among other components. These elements contribute to immunoregulatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, positioning donkey milk as a possible therapeutic option. In addition, due to the low levels of caseins, the casein-to-whey protein ratio, and the β-lactoglobulin content in donkey milk, it presents an optimal alternative for infant formula for individuals with cow’s milk allergies. Moreover, research into donkey milk’s potential for cancer prevention, diabetes management, and as a treatment for various diseases is ongoing, thanks to its bioactive peptides and components. Nevertheless, challenges such as its low production yield and the not fully understood mechanisms behind its potential therapeutic role necessitate more thorough investigation. This review consolidates the existing knowledge on the therapeutic possibilities of donkey milk, emphasizing its importance for human health and the need for more detailed studies to confirm its health benefits.

Donkey meat has gained popularity as an emerging meat product due to its superior nutritional value and distinctive flavor. Despite this, research on the molecular mechanisms that contribute to meat quality, particularly within the field of proteomics, remains limited. This study aimed to address this gap by utilizing the data-independent acquisition (DIA) technique to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the gluteus superficialis (WG), longissimus thoracis (WLT), and semitendinosus (WS) muscles of donkeys. Our analysis revealed 189 and 384 DEPs in the WG/WLT and WS/WLT muscles, respectively. Several significant potential pathways, involving these DEPs, were found to be closely associated with donkey meat quality. These pathways include fatty acid biosynthesis, TGF-β signaling, FOXO signaling, mTOR signaling, oxidative phosphorylation, citrate cycle, alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, and valine, leucine, and isoleucine degradation. The identified DEPs and their regulated pathways were involved in regulating intramuscular fat deposition, protein metabolism, and amino acid metabolism in donkey muscles. These mechanisms have a direct impact on the physicochemical properties and flavor of donkey meat. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the molecular processes influencing the quality of donkey meat. Additionally, the findings of our study may be influenced by the sample size. Therefore, further research with a larger sample is needed to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of meat quality.
