Donkey can alert with a very loud noise when a predator gets close to the livestock herd and possibly dissuade the animal to attack.

As I am dealing with the same issue in French Guyana, I would be very interesting to know more about the use of donkeys to be the most effective as possible. Here are some of my questions:
– How old has to be the donkey when included in the herd to protect? I guess that when it is young and small, it can be a prey for jaguars and pumas.
– How many donkeys do you advice to include in a herd depending on its size?
– Can a donkey be adapted to protect any type of livestock (goat, cow, sheep…)? No problem of interaction between the flock and the donkey?
If you have any further advice to use donkey in an effective way, I would appreciate any of your feedback.
All the best
Tommy
