"Eurolactis is reviving the tradition of Donkey's Milk"
Donkey's milk is an age-old product whose most precious particularity is the fact of being the closest to human breast milk in terms of protein composition and lipid fraction. The EUROLACTIS GROUP is a vertically integrated supply chain that produces, transforms into freeze-dried powder, and markets Donkey's milk on a large scale since 2007. The company is developing a social, ecological and sustainable program devoted entirely to the use of Donkey's milk in pediatrics, food & beverage, and premium cosmetic, mainly distributed in pharmacy or health & EUROLACTIS SAllness sales channels.
With almost 1000 livestock heads, the company represents the most extended milk production in Europe. As one of the most experienced and important manufacturers worldwide with a production of almost 52000 L - a shedonkey produces about 1.5L per day during 7 months after the foal's birth. Donkeys are raised in liberty in verdant hills and are exclusively fed with organic products made up of alfalfa, barley and oat fodder.
Milking is done with a specially designed system ensuring very high hygiene conditions. The animals are rigorously subject to prescribed health checks to determine if they are suitable to produce milk. Powder is the result of years of R&D. The production quality chart planned by Eurolactis fully respects the European Commission regulation No. 1441/2007, standardizes microbiological criteria for foodstuffs and infantile powder. Moreover, with the merit of its uniqueness, the supply chain avoids any third contamination by other types of milks during the processing. In fact, the presence of another type of milk could containing allergen components and could deteriorate the natural value of this beverage (Allergies to Goat and Cow's milk proteins represent about 5% of the western population).
Following the industrial revolution, Donkeys have been replaced by machine and therefore greatly decreased in numbers. Donkey's milk is part of the History of the Mediterranean region. We all know the story, full of legendary tones about how important women from the Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquity had understood the inestimable virtues of this milk and had used it as an elixir of life and beauty. Donkey's milk evokes sweetness, delicacy and lightness, which is why we try to keep these qualities present in the nature of all our products.
Eurolactis team has mainly focused on the treatments for allergic reactions in babies caused mainly by cow's milk proteins. We have examined in detail the value and beneficial effects of Donkey's milk in many aspects. There are several formulated milks available in the market whose effectiveness has been clearly demonstrated. These milks are generally made out of bovine or vegetal components and have been technologically and chemically modified in such a way that they have lost their true biological value. During the last decade, the medical world has paid close attention to the use of Donkey's milk in feeding babies. Indeed, the intrinsic physical and chemical values of Donkey's milk are precious: as mentioned previously, it is very similar to Human Breast Milk, it is rich in Lysozyme and Omega 3, and has a large amount of vitamins and minerals.
The company is now engaged in intense collaboration with Donkey breeders, scientific researchers and many other professionals in Switzerland, France and Italy. Eurolactis' mission consists of constantly promoting the innovative agricultural centers that operate with complete respect for the animals. To preserve the exceptional nature of Donkey's milk it I fundamental to work in a humane environment where key values are preserved. We are also very rigorous in the sustainability of our development and in the organic growth our milk production.
