Donkey milk has high nutritional and medicinal value, but there are few researches in donkey milk traits, especially on genome. The whole lactation of 89 donkeys was recorded and it was found that Xinjiang donkey had good lactation performance while great differences among individuals. In our previous study, four genes including  LGALS2 ,  NUMB ,  ADCY8  and  CA8  were identified as milk-associated with Chinese Kazakh house, based on Equine 670k Chip genomic analysis. And then 15 SNPs of the four key genes were conducted for genotyping in Xinjiang donkey in this study, one of Chinese indigenous breed, 14 SNPs were successful classified. And those SNPs were correlation analysis with milk yield of Xinjiang donkeys. The results showed that  NUMB  g.46709914T &gt; G was significantly correlated with daily milk yield of Xinjiang donkey in the early, middle, and late periods, while  ADCY8  g.48366302T &gt; C,  CA8  g.89567442T &gt; G and  CA8  g.89598328T &gt; A were significantly correlated with lactation in the late periods. These results indicate that  NUMB  g.46709914T &gt; G can be as markers of candidate genes for lactating traits in donkeys, SNPs of  ADCY8  and  CA8  as potential. Our findings will not only help confirm key genes for donkey milk traits, but also provide future for genomic selection in donkeys.
