In this study, the Jumbosacral plexus of the donkey was investigated macroanatomically and subgrossly. For this purpose, eight donkeys in different sexes were used. The results showed that one animal had tour, five anima/s had five, two anima/s had six lu mb ar vertebrae. Therefore, the significant differences in both the formatian of the Jumbosacral plexus and the sp ina! nerves arising from the plexus were alsa determined. On the contrary, there were no significant differences in the course and distribution patterns of the spinal nerves arising from the Jumbosacral plexus among the do'nkeys studied and alsa between results of previous workers who have studied on the horse.
