Abstract

The domestic donkey (Equus asinus) originated from the
African wild ass (Equus africanus). Donkeys are resilient
domestic animals that do not have particularly specific
requirements for housing. It should be emphasized
immediately that a tethering system in the stable is
absolutely not applied. Donkeys must be kept freely, with
enough space for lying down and moving around. The
primary role of the housing facility is to provide donkeys
with shelter from adverse weather conditions, especially rain
and intense solar radiation. The housing space must be
sufficiently large so as not to interfere with the unimpeded
consumption of food or cause overly close contact between
the animals.
