Donkeys (Equus asinus) is a domestic livestock animal and popular in helping farming activities and providing food for some societies. Population of donkeys were drastically decreasing due to the overexploitation for its hides and industrialization.

One hundred and forty-four male donkeys from D/Kudu Kano state where enrolled in this study for morphometric characterisation.
