1, not good to feed.
It is often said that "stubbornness becomes a donkey", and you know how big a donkey's temper is. Stubborn and unhappy, they run, unlike pigs and cows, which are docile and clever and easy to feed. If no one keeps it, it will be very troublesome to keep donkeys.
2. The rate of return is not high
Raising donkeys is a hard job, with low slaughter and less meat production than pigs. It's hard to get the money back just by selling donkey meat. Although donkey skin is an important raw material of Ejiao, there are few enterprises that make Ejiao, and foreign donkey skin can be imported. The price of donkey skin in China is not comparable to that of Ejiao.
3. It's hard to find the breed of donkey.
There are so few people who keep donkeys that it is even more difficult to find a good donkey for breeding. If there is no breeding, the donkey breeding circle will become smaller and smaller. Therefore, there is an urgent need for someone to help these donkey farmers find a way out and solve the problems of reproduction and feeding.
Matters needing attention in buying donkey meat
The fresh donkey meat we usually choose in the supermarket is mostly reddish brown in color, and the fatty places are pale yellow with obvious luster. If it is stale donkey meat, the muscle part is directly dark brown and dull.
Fresh and authentic donkey meat is not smelly, but also has a strong fat aroma. On the contrary, if it is stale donkey meat, the fat part will not stink. If it's any worse, you'll smell a big stink as soon as you touch horse meat. At this time you need to be careful not to buy horse meat by mistake.
Like fresh donkey meat, it has a strong sense of muscle, elastic meat quality and fine muscle fibers, while the muscle tissue of old donkey meat is soft and inelastic. If it is horse meat, it will feel rough, because the mechanism of muscles is very rough, not to mention the taste.
