At present there are no published feeding guidelines specific to donkeys. Current recommendations are to feed 0.75 of horse energy needs on a body weight basis. However, it has been shown that donkeys have a greater digestive efficiency than horses a... Read More about Seasonal variation of digestible energy requirements of mature donkeys in the UK..

The effect of pasture restriction on dry matter intake by foraging donkeys in the UK. (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Wood, S. J., Smith, D., Muir, C. J., Oliver, J., & Cuddeford, D. (2006). The effect of pasture restriction on dry matter intake by foraging donkeys in the UK. In R. A. Pearson, C. J. Muir, & M. Farrow (Eds.),

Measuring daily food intake of foraging animals is essential if accurate feeding rations are to be implemented. The alkane technique, which has recently been validated in equines, now provides the opportunity to measure intake at pasture. The aims of...
