~~Donkey stallions need firm, confident handling. They can be very strong and may require a bit in the mouth when being led. Be aware that they may bite!~~

−

~~The stable door should be high enough so that they cannot see over or attempt to jump it. Some stallions can become very excited by the sight of other equines.~~

−

~~[[Castration - Donkey|Castration]] is generally performed under general anaesthetic.~~

−

Post-operatively the '''bed should be kept as clean as possible''' to help avoid infection. The donkey should receive '''daily exercise''' to help prevent and reduce swelling. If he leads well and is not too strong he can be exercised in hand.

−

~~If he is turned out, ensure the field is well fenced and there are no other equines in sight. Vigorous exercise the day after surgery should be avoided as it may promote haemorrhage.~~
