The type of hair of the horse –forelock, mane, tail, and “feathers” (behind the fetlock).
Long Hair
the hair coat of the pig; the cilia (eyelashes), vibrissae (hairs of the nostrils) and “beard” (hair of the submandibular region) of the goat.
Bristles
Composed of an undercoat of animals bred for their ability to produce usable fibers. Lacks guard hairs so that the fleece is soft and curly, made up of long fine hairs. Angora goat(mohair) and cashmere goat (cashmere wool) and camelids.
Wool of Sheep
It has an oily feel, a product of cutaneous sebaceous glands.
Lanolin (Wool Grease/Wool Wax)
Acquired from sheep (merino and rambouillet).
Commercial Wool
It is Hair Follicles in Farm Animal that is single.
Horses and cattle
It is Hair Follicles in Farm Animal that is compound hair follicles with single primary hair and a group of smaller secondary hairs
Dog
It is Hair Follicles in Farm Animal that is single follicles grouped in cluster
Pigs
It is Hair Follicles in Farm Animal that issingle follicle with primary guard hair surrounded by clusters of compound follicles
Cat
Hoof pads or bulbs are comparable to the digital pads of carnivores. The metacarpal, metatarsal, carpal, and tarsal pads are missing in all domestic species, except the carnivore.
Ruminants
In sheeps, at medial canthus of eye, larger in rams than in ewes; used for marking
Infraorbital Pouches
In sheep, the midline above the hoofs between the digits of all four feet; are used as trail markers.
Interdigital Pouches
In goats, Caudal to the base of the horn, secretion is increased during breeding season and especially pungent in bucks
Horn Glands
In goats,Two glands below the tail responsible for the buck’s characteristic smell
Sub-Caudal Glands
In pigs, the mediopalmar aspect of the carpus; Produces sexual pheromones, marking the sow during mating
Carpal Glands
In pigs, a wart-like skin eminence on the chin; has both tactile and secretory (marking) functions
Mental (Chin) Glands
In pigs, in all domestic species; in the wall of the external auditory canal; produce “ear wax” which protects the tympanic membrane from foreign bodies
Ceruminous Glands
only in cats; in the skin around the mouth esp. the lower lip; called “cleaning glands” but functional significance is probably for marking
Circumoral Glands
In sheeps,Near the base of the udder or scrotum
Inguinal Pouch
In pigs, is the secretions mix with degenerated cells to form a called substance smegma in horses
Preputial Glands
Predominant in man. Restricted to the footpads of carnivores, frog of the horse, nasolabial region of ruminants and swine, and carpus of pig. Function relates to territorial markings and thermoregulation.
Eccrine Sweat Glands
Predominates in domestic species. Distributed throughout the skin, ducts open into hair follicles.
Apocrine Sweat Glands
is the only farm animal that sweat readily and sweats the most (“lathering up”), cat and dog the least.
Horse
It is a sweat gland that occurs in cow
Planum Nasolabiale
It is a sweat gland that occurs in sheep and pig (in hairless area)
Planum Nasale
are sensitive to circulating epinephrine. this is rich in protein and will foam when agitated by working muscles.
EquineSweatGland
Thought to be modified sweat glands that nourish the young.
Mammary Glands
Term designating all the mammae in the ruminants and the horse (sometimes in sow).
Udder
The four parts of the bovine udder are each associated with one teat; all four quarters are completely seperated from each other.
Quarters
External indication of the separation of the two halves of the udder
Intermammary Groove
usually 10 mammae; 5 (4-6) mammary complexes on each side separated by an intermammary groove.
Bitch
8 mammae, four on each side of the ventral adominal wall.
Queen
14 (10-18) mammae; seven on each side.
Sow
4 mammae, two (quarters) on each side, all bound together to form an udder
Cow
2 mammae forming a pendulous udder.
Goat and Sheep
2 mammae forming a small udder.
Mare
teats; usually have the same number as females.
Males
extra teats may or may not be connected to primary mammary gland tissue in both male and females.
