Dr. Amy K. McLean has had a life long passion for equids with long ears! She grew up on a donkey and mule farm in Georgia. She has devoted her professional career to conducting donkey and mule research that focuses on improved management and well being of these animals. McLean is an Associate Professor in Teaching of Equine Science in the Department of Animal Science at the University of California Davis. She earned her Ph.D. from Michigan State University in the area of equine science where she studied methods to improve working donkey welfare in Mali, West Africa. She earned her Masters of Science with a focus in Reproduction Physiology from the University of Georgia. She has conducted research with donkeys, mules, and hinnies in many countries publishing 45 + articles plus 6 book chapters with a continued focus of improving welfare of mules and donkeys with the idea that improving their welfare will only help improve the welfare of the families they work for. In 2023, she was named the 5th most published researcher for donkeys in the world. She hopes the research and information she can provide to the industry will help others with this underestimated population of equids. In McLean's spare time her hobby is focused on breeding and showing performance mules and donkeys on a national level where she has won many world titles competing in events you may only think a horse could accomplish such as jumping, dressage, reining and driving.
