The donkey Equus Africanus Asinus evolved from the desert. It is not a horse with long ears. Its body (hooves pointy, long ears to hear at a distance) and unique metabolism are built to live on the foods of the desert: sticks, sagebrush, thistles, bark, and grass.
How can I keep my donkey healthy?
Test your hay to ensure 10% or lower in sugar & protein content. Feed portion control.
Never feed round bales or leave them out to eat with cows and livestock, as donkeys will devour themselves into obesity.
Create a hotwire track directly connected to the sacrifice paddock and shelter. NO GRAZING MUZZLE NEEDED. www.thriftbook...
Do not feed cookies, breads, lawn clippings, vitamins, oats, or alfalfa.
Feed twice a day, portion control using a quality slow feeder www.thehaypill...
Provide clean, cool water in the heat and warm, clean water during the winter.
Provide lose salt with minerals add selenium if your hay does not have it, remove selenium for hay that has it.
The donkey needs spring shots just like the horse. A donkey needs his teeth and gums checked by a vet at least once a year. Colic is prevented when dental care is provided. Worming, ask your vet to do a fecal sample in the spring and summer. Fecal samples stop over worming.
Exercise is key to helping stay healthy, building muscles, supporting happiness caused from boredom and keeping a healthy weight in combination with diet.
