Donkeys present some very striking differences in their reproductive process compared to the horse. These differences concern primarily the reproductive physiology. Behavioural peculiarities should be taken into consideration when training male jacks for semen collection or breeding to horse mares for mule production. There is a lack of information concerning the interaction of nutrition and reproduction in these species. The effects on fertility and dystocia when breeding jennies to stallions need further studies.
