The time when Pakistan donkeys were massively introduced domestically happened to be around 2001 or 2002, exactly 20 years ago now.

At the time, these donkeys were distributed to the smallest unit, which was the township-level livestock station, with the policy still being grassroots cadres promoting it in the countryside, resulting in a very high rate of breeding coverage.

Therefore, it's currently very difficult to find purebred local female donkeys, and crossbreeding cannot activate the LP phenotype, let alone obtain that substance from the phosphate pentose pathway found in the hair. Is there really no connection between the two?

The real answer may be unknown, but Xu Yun personally believes the answer is no.

Naming this new species after Xiaoli, both in terms of meaning and sentiment, is a very fitting choice.

However, Qiu Sheng didn't understand Xu Yun's thoughts; he just simply felt the name seemed okay and said:

"Old Xu, this name isn't bad, and since it's a new species you discovered, call it whatever you like, I have no objections."

Xu Yun nodded at him, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"By the way, Old Qiu, what are your thoughts on a hair growth solution for that donkey?"

Qiu Sheng frowned and thought for a while, then slowly shook his head and said:

"I remember reading in a novel that Bat Lady's blood can help Gou Mei grow hair, but there's no way we can find a non-human lady who's been poor for ten thousand years in reality, so that's obviously impossible."

"The remaining methods are nothing more than black sesame or minoxidil—my suggestion is to use both at the same time. Anyway, for now, this donkey seems quite tolerant, so it probably won't cause any problems."

The spread of minoxidil might not be very high, but it is actually one of the internationally recognized mainstream medications for treating hair loss, with a very high usage rate.

However, the effects of this stuff are somewhat limited; let's just say it's slightly better than a placebo, standing out among the dwarfs, so to speak.

Black sesame is likely more familiar to everyone, and along with Polygonum multiflorum, they are known as the two major traditional dietary supplements for hair growth.

Saying it's complete nonsense or an IQ tax is definitely not the case, but the effect is relatively limited.

However, considering the lack of particularly effective methods at present, these two things have become the only choices.

Of course.

Hair growth is only a temporary measure; the more important thing is to breed—always relying on Brother Lv is not really good.

But nowadays, it is quite difficult to find purebred local LP phenotype female donkeys because there are just too many hybrid donkeys domestically.

Any student who was a donkey in a past life should know this.

The lifespan of a donkey is generally 20 years, roughly over a hundred years in human terms.

This means that the local donkeys from before 2000, whether male or female, are almost all dead by now.
