Hoofed animals

Peccaries are even-toed hoofed animals that are sometimes called javelinas (javelins) because their tusks look like javelins or spears. Peccaries have a musk gland on the back near the rump that gives off a very powerful odor, resulting in the alternate common name of musk hog. 

Biosynthetic Foot-and-Mouth-Disease vaccine - Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease that afflicts primarily cloven-hoofed animals. There are seven FMD types (A, 0, C, ASIAl,... 

Figure 27.8 shows that as evolutionary lines diverge, the number of sequence variations increases so that closely related species have few differences and distantly related species have many difference in primary structure. Thus, human and chimpanzees have identical cyctochrome c sequences. The primary structures of cytochrome c molecules from California gray whales differ from that of pigs, cows, and sheeps by only two residues. We conclude that the whale has evolved from land animals related to modern hoofed animals. Gray whale cytochrome c differs from human cytochrome c 10 residues.

Although stockless systems can be practised on arable farms, by the use of green manures to maintain soil nutrient status, the need for the addition of animals as a source of recycled excreta, and as graziers, has long been recognised. At the time of the golden hoof, field owners paid shepherds for the use of their sheep, if only to have them penned up on a particular field overnight. 

When blood, hoofs, horns, and many animal tissues are ignited with carbonata of potassa when blood,... 

The early statement that corruption is the mother of vegetation doubtless arose from the observation that manures, composts, dead animal bodies, and parts thereof such as blood, hair, hoofs, and so on, increased plant growth. John Woodward (cited by Russell, 1973), in a paper published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (Vol. 21, p. 382), observed that the falloff in yields of crops grown in successive years on unmanured land could be rectified when supplied with a new fund of matter, of like sort with that it first contained which supply is made in several ways, either by the ground s being fallow some time, until the rain has poured down a fresh stock upon it or by tiller s care in manuring it. He considered that the best... 

Almost a century and a half after Darwin proposed his theory, evolutionary biology has had much success in accounting for patterns of life we see around us. To many, its triumph seems complete. But the real work of life does not happen at the level of the whole animal or organ the most important parts of living things are too small to be seen. Life is lived in the details, and it is molecules that handle life s details. Darwin s idea might explain horse hoofs, but can it explain life s foundation ... 

Ammonia was prepared by the alchemists by distilling leather scraps, hoof, horns, and other animal refuse. Because they found that the best ammonia was obtained by distilling deer antlers, the alchemists called ammonia Spirits of Hartshorn. 7 Nature forms ammonia by decomposition of proteins. The odor of ammonia can often be detected around manure piles and other decaying organic matter. 

Approved inputs are listed in Annex II of the Regulation although nearly all require permission from the certifying body before they can be used. Approved fertilisers and soil conditioners include low soluble materials such as rock phosphate and lime, as well as animal manures and by-products such as bone meal and hoof/hom meal. More soluble materials such as blood meal, wood ash and potassium sulphate are also allowed, again following approval from the certification body. 

Keratin A protein containing large amounts of sulphur-rich amino acids. It is a material vital to the animal kingdom as it makes up horn, hoof, baleen, claws, hair, fur and human nails, and is also present in skin. 

Owing to the economic importance of wool most investigators have used this material as a convenient source of a-keratin. When parallel studies have been made on hairs from other animals and on nails, claws, hoofs, and quills it has been found that conclusions reached by studying wool proteins apply, with only minor qualifications, to other keratinized tissues. Feathers are only of slight economic value and correspondingly less attention has been devoted to their chemistry, despite the fact that feather proteins are more readily solubilized and purified and that feather rachis yields X-ray diffraction patterns of excellent quality. 

The rendering industry processes or recycles animal and poultry byproducts such as animal fat, bone, hide, offal, feathers, hoofs, horns, hair, and blood. For example. 

Previous to the introduction of the gold-cyaniding process almost all the cyanide manufactured was made from sodium or potassium ferrocyanide, which was produced from animal matter, such as dried blood, horns, hoofs, and the residues of slaughter houses (see under Ferrocyanides, p. 79). 

Into iron crucibles containing molten potash, scraps of nitrogenous animal matter, such as horns, hoofs, hair, wool, etc., are thrown. KCN is thus formed. Into the mass iron fillings are introduced, which at once unite with the organic sulphur present to form FeS. This iron sulphide then unites with the KCN to form ferrocyanide, as explained above. 

Wool is the animal fibre of outstanding importance. Its origin is characteristic of all hairs because it is a growth of the epidermis, as are horns, nails, and hoofs. The skin consists of two distinct layers, of which the outer exposed zone is the epidermis and the inner tissue is the dermis (see Fig. 5.1). The function of the epidermis is mainly protective and it consists of...
