In India, donkey milk is priced at around Rs 5,000 per litre, a sharp contrast to cow milk, which costs just around Rs 60 per litre.

But why is it the most expensive? According to Deccan Chronicle report donkeys produce significantly less milk than cows

While a cow can produce up to 12 gallons a day, a donkey yields just about 1 litre.

Moreover, donkeys are highly sensitive animals and prone to stress, which further affects their milk production.

Donkey milk goes beyond rarity. It has a subtle sweetness and a lighter, less creamy texture, making it ideal for both sweet and savory gourmet dishes
