Donkey's milk has many takers
A sum of Rs 100 or even Rs 200 for fresh 50ml of donkey's milk. The age-old business quietly thrives in many parts of this hi-tech city,Bangalore.
It is believed that the milk cures ailments in infants. While doctors agree that it has higher protein content than human milk, they are sceptical about its medicinal properties
Joint director (animal husbandry) Pervez Ahmed Piran (also a dairy expert) confirms about the value of donkey's milk. "I am not too sure about the popularity of the milk but it is definitely as good as human milk in terms of composition. Good enough to even be used as a substitute,'' he says.
But doctors aren't convinced. "The benefits are not scientifically proven. However, it surely has higher protein content than human milk,''says Dr H Paramesh, paediatric pulmonologist and director, Lakeside Hospital.
We really get donkey milk? I didn't know about it. If it was so good and so ancient a practice, by now almost all paediatricians in the city would have started rearing donkeys. I can't imagine babies being given donkey milk,''says Dr Meenakshi Bharath, gynaecologist.
Bella is horse or donkey?
Drmana is right.Mother's milk is the best for a new born baby.

Hawk, may i know the reason why Donkey milk is forbidden?
Eating Donkey's meat is HARAM (Forbidden) for muslims and thus the milk is also not permitted to be consumed even to the babies. As far I know Christian also doesn't eat Donkey and off course Hindus don't eat any Beef.
What if people after consuming Donkey's milk start doing DHENCHU DHENCHU....LOL
