All male mules, like all other mammalian hybrids, are completely sterile. Females can, however, be persuaded to ovulate by the use of fertility drugs and can be crossed with horses, donkeys or any other equid. The University of Beijing crossed a mule with a donkey in 1980 and the offspring, Dragon Foal, now works on campus pulling a cart to deliver goods. She has herself given birth to a foal by another donkey. In theory, each successive generation will become more fertile.
What sort of animal is a mule?
A mule is technically not a living thing, as a living thing is classified as having cell organization, ability to grow and develop, respond to stimuli, uses energy, and reproduce. A mule cannot reproduce, no matter what you do. I guess it depends on your opinion. It could be an exception, or it could be that is really isn't alive. My science teacher would probably say that it isn't because she said that the 6 properties of living things are laws of nature, and you don't break laws. But, I guess it could actually be an exception because it was our idea to breed a horse and a donkey, that wouldn't really happen in nature, would it?
Provided you are describing the fecal material of a donkey, I would guess the answer is no. However, if "donkey poop" is the name of an edible food product that I am not aware of, please disregard the above answer.

"A mule does not sound exactly like a donkey or a horse. Instead, a mule makes a sound that is similar to a donkey's but also has the whinnying characteristics of a horse (often starts with a whinny, ends in a hee-haw). Sometimes, mules whimper."
