    Abstract: Spiti is the only breed of donkey in the list of 160 breeds registered so far for the indigenous germplasm. It points towards the fact that Indian donkey diversity is largely unexplored, in spite of its role in support system of poorest of the poor countrymen. Rajasthan state harbours more than eighty thousand donkey. Genetic diversity underpins population resilience and persistence so a need was felt for the systematic and scientific evaluation of existing diversity in this population. The diversity status of Rajasthan donkey population was investigated by using 20 microsatellite markers. Two of the loci, HMS5 and ASB17, depicted less than 4 alleles and were thus excluded from further analyses. Rajasthan donkey was found to host considerable diversity. This conclusion is evidenced by the number of alleles observed across loci (average 8.16±0.89), and by mean observed heterozygosity (0.688±0.06). Signatures of inbreeding could not be detected by the FIS indices in the Rajasthan donkey population. The population did not suffer any bottleneck in the recent past. The study provides the first scientific assessment of the genetic diversity status of Rajasthan donkey population. This information on the genetic analysis can be used in conjunction with the information on physical and phenotypic characteristics and management practices for registration of this population as a breed.

    Abstract: The current study was conducted with an objective of elucidating the effect of addition of various levels of caffeine to jack semen on seminal attributes at pre- and post-thaw stage. Six ejaculates from each three adult jack stallions were collected via artificial vagina using estrus jenny as dummy. Caffeine was added to semen extender at 0.1, 0.5 and 2 mM at pre-freeze stage and the semen was cryopreserved according to standard protocol. Sperm motility, viability and other functional attributes were assessed at pre-freeze and post-thaw stages. The present study revealed that, adding caffeine to jack semen extender at 0.1 mM, 0.5 mM or 2 mM levels had positive impact on seminal parameters compared to the control semen. Sperm kinetics (VAP, VSL and STR) and motility increased in the caffeine treated groups in comparison to the control group. The caffeine at 2.0 mM concentration resulted in better post-thaw sperm motility, viability, and acrosome integrity as compared to 1 or 0.5 mM of caffeine and control. Caffeine supplementation also enhanced post-thaw sperm kinematic parameters, which implies its potential as an alternative antioxidant supplement. It was concluded that, 2 mM caffeine supplementation to donkey semen significantly improved post-thaw sperm motility and other functional attributes as compared to the control. However, the potential benefits of caffeine on the fertility rates needs to be investigated.

    Abstract: Milk contains plentiful nutrients. In Western countries, cow’s milk fat is supposed as a risk factor for health because it is a source of a high fraction of saturated fatty acids. There has been increasing attention in donkey’s milk. Donkeys’ milk is preferential as a potential new dietetic food and a good alternative for infant nutrition in the case of bovine milk protein allergy. The microbiota present in this food may be responsible for its beneficial effects. Considering the potential health benefits, an increase in utilization of donkeys’ milk is expected. The present review addresses various aspects of donkey milk with special emphasis on milk yield, composition, shelf life, antimicrobial, therapeutic and cosmetic properties.

    Abstract: Copy number variants (CNVs) have dynamic potential and evolutionary significance like other genetic variants, namely, single nucleotide polymorphisms, InDels, short tandem repeat polymorphisms, inversion variants, etc. Discovering CNVs leads to further speculation that the genomic DNA contains more changes than previously thought and contributes to the phenotypic variation. CNVs are big DNA fragments ( 〉 1 kb) being duplicated or deleted. A bridge between CNVs and phenotypic variations supports CNVs to be utilized in GWAS, which are currently mostly based on SNPs. CNV, which refers to the structural differences, influence gene expression and can be an indicator of numerous traits for improvement. There is a severe dearth of research on CNVs in animals, especially equine. The present study investigates the genomes of the Bhutia Equine breed for genome-wide discovery of CNVs using theAxiom™ Equine Genotyping Array chip for a better understanding of its traits which had been unexplored till date. A total of 619 CNVs from 20 Bhutia equines were identified with the median and average size as 49.394 kb and 114.955 kb, respectively. Total 225 frequent CNVRs with 〉 1% CNV frequency were identified among them along with singleton type. These CNVRs contained 361 genes in all. The information obtained on genomic variation could be utilized to identify economically advantageous genetic features in Bhutia equine breed.
