“…Entitled “Under the Skin,” the report was based on the growing awareness of the growth in the donkey hides trade (DHT) to supply the demand for e’jiao. E’jiao manufacturers reported their need for four to ten million donkey skins a year to meet the demand for e’jiao [ 31 ], leading to concerns regarding the potential impacts on global donkey populations and their welfare. Information about the DHT from the grey literature framed initial debate [ 32 , 33 ] including the BBC [ 34 ].…”

Donkeys provide important resources and benefits for millions of people worldwide. However, global donkey populations are under increasing pressure from the growing demand for a traditional Chinese medicine, e’jiao, made from donkey-skin. The objective of this reflexive, qualitative thematic analysis was to examine the role of donkeys with 262 participants in northern Ghana and how donkeys contribute to livelihood outcomes, especially their use by women and children. Data were collected from four surveys, 12 in-depth interviews and 84 daily time budgets with the same participants, plus 16 focus groups, during one wet and one dry season across 2018-19. Uniquely, boys and girls between the ages of 10–16-years old were interviewed. Donkeys are highly valued by their owners as they play a valuable role in providing a pathway out of ultra-poverty. Donkeys’ contributions to livelihoods are significant and more complex than previously understood and documented in the literature. Donkey ownership confers up to six different income benefits in comparison to non-donkey owners. Female owners of donkeys reported that donkeys can contribute between 30–60% of their income. Children of both sexes can play an important role in the efficient deployment of one of these income generating activities.

“…Visto isso, a população de jumentos da China, e dos países com grandes populações de jumentos, encontram-se ameaçadas pela exploração desenfreada da pele desses animais. A demanda atual deste mercado está em torno de 4 a 10 milhões de jumentos por ano, tendo, a espécie, cerca de 44 milhões de indivíduos por todo o mundo (Köhle, 2018). Na China houve uma redução drástica do plantel, que era de 11 milhões de jumentos nos anos 90 e passou a apenas 6 milhões em 2016.…”

O colla corii asini ou donkey-hide gelatin ou ejiao é uma gelatina obtida do colágeno da pele de jumentos, utilizado há milhares de anos com diversas finalidades na medicina tradicional chinesa. A demanda pelo ejiao, misturado a ervas e outros ingredientes da medicina chinesa, aumentou devido a ascensão econômica da população chinesa em geral. As peles de jumentos oriundas de países como o Quirguistão, o Brasil e o México seguem para a China para a produção do Ejiao. Nessa cadeia extrativista a África é o território mais afetado, tanto no número de animais abatidos quanto no impacto social e econômico. Este trabalho é um levantamento prospectivo de patentes sobre inovações e descobertas do uso terapêutico do ejiao. A pesquisa foi realizada em três bases de patentes e a partir destas foram recuperados o total de 1837 documentos sobre tecnologias que fazem uso do ejiao. Analisando a trajetória temporal das publicações na área, observa-se que as invenções tiveram início na década de 90 e atingiram seu ápice no ano de 2015, contudo observou-se uma recaída nos anos seguintes, a suposição é de que o declínio tenha sido ocasionado pela redução populacional dos asininos na China e nos países fornecedores de outras regiões do mundo, além não existência da cadeia produtiva de pele de jumentos.

“…Donkey breeding, however, still presents major challenges in Brazil, which sees their population gradually decreasing over the years [ 5 ]. On the other hand, there is a trend toward expansion of the consumer market for meat, milk, and especially donkey skin, given the demand for these products in Asian countries such as China [ 6 ].…”

The skin of donkeys and mules represents a promising source of income; however, cultural, productive, and infectious factors can directly interfere with the quality of the integumentary tissue and well-being of these species. The objective of this study is to present a literature review on equine dermatopathies. This literature review included scientific articles related to equine medicine and breeding according to pre-established search terms and expressions published in recently articles. The evaluation of the clinical and pathological behavior of dermatopathies implies the use of control strategies and the recognition of pathological patterns that may be particular to the species.
