The gelatin that contains the skin of the donkey is used to develop a traditional Chinese medicine known as ‘ejiao’. It is used to treat anemia and menopausal symptoms.
In China, the population of burrs increased from 11 million in 1990 to 3 million in 2017. Therefore, in order to satisfy the demand for ‘ejiao’, burros in Netherlands will have a large population of these animals.

South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso or Niger are now the main exporters of this well-priced traditional Chinese medicine and it has risked the rural areas of these countries.
Following an investigation into recent donations by The Donkey Sanctuary, the illegal trade in burrs, which has provoked the drought of millions of burrs in Africa, has also led to the surveillance of landfills.

As mentioned in the information of this conservationist organization, the people of South Africa denounce the robbery of their neighbors. On the other hand, it is also one of the most abusive species that has launched the purchase of this animal traditionally used for agriculture, transport and nutrition.

“Workers here and their burdens are our source of ingress, if they have burdens, they can work for you”, assured AFP Ikgopeleng Tsietsoane, a 25-year-old African farmer. “The robbery is ours, the sustainer. If nothing happens, it’s next to the quadrants,” he lamented, saying that in October of this year, six of his robbers had been killed and the lads had never been found.
High demand means more high prices
The demand for burrs is provocative robots and también is often subject to the prices, which could have a devastating impact on the people who depend on them.
In Niger, the price of the burrs has increased from 28 euros to 124 euros. Although ours may appear as small money for Nigerian farmers, this price is prohibitive. We do not have effective money to buy these burdens at this price, they are working and working on their lives.
The skins of the burros have a very fine gelatin for traditional Chinese medicine and are known by the name of ‘ejiao’.
China produces 5,000 toneladas ‘ejiao’ cada año, which you need for four million pieles. In addition, this number excludes persons who obtain illegal office sheets.
Recently Burkina Faso and Niger banned the export of burrs. Sondeverbod, other African countries have legalized the trade in burdens and their implications.
The global population of rising burrows
Following a briefing by the FAO, published in Plos One, in 1997, there was an increase of 19% in the number of burrows at world level from 40,981,873 to 50,451,887 animals.
Ethiopia, with a population of 7.4 million more large burrs in the African continent, has built large-scale Chinese property companies. While this year, the officials approved a drone strike in the Baringo area, northeast of Nairobi.
It sells 1.8 million peels each year and the gelatin derived from the different wines is sold for 325 euros per kilo.
These are positive data that will show the FAO can be very different in years if the demand for these animals is increasing.
According to the British organization The Donkey Sanctuary, 1.8 million pellets are traded each year and the gelatin derived from the different ones is worth 325 euros per kilo, while the total demand is up to 10 million piles.
