Innovative Use of Jenny Milk from Sustainable Rearing

Abstract

Thanks to its chemical composition and nutrient profile, jenny milk is usually recommended for the needs of newborn, heart and cholesterolemic patients. Nevertheless, the future use of this product is still to be defined. In the present, contributions of two promising ways of milk valorisation were discussed: natural cosmetics and new cheese productions. The results of our studies showed that face creams made with jenny milk allow a better skin hydration and moisturisation compared to conventional cosmetics. Moreover, the addition of small amounts of jenny milk is able to prevent late blowing defects in cow and in ewe cheese making. The provision of these findings to farmers may have important socio-economic and ecological implications.

Analysis of Environmental Factors’ Impact on Donkeys’ Colostrum Quality

“…Other studies [4,5] emphasize the particularity of donkey milk because of its rich lysozyme content, making it suitable for probiotic beverages. Cosentino et al [6] highlighted that in the context of the increasing importance of diversity preservation, even in the most vulnerable areas of Natura 2000, because of the multiple uses of donkey milk (even for newborns), donkey rearing should be encouraged.…”
