The primary hair type found in the coat of animals
Guard hairs
The hair type of the fleece of sheep
Wool hairs
A type of sensory hair found in animals
Tylotrich hair
The long hair of the horse including forelock mane tail and feathers behind the fetlock
Long horse hair
The hair coat of the pig including cilia vibrissae and beard of the goat
Bristles
Composed of wool hairs or undercoat of animals bred for fiber production lacks guard hairs making the fleece soft and curly has an oily feel due to lanolin
Wool of sheep
Horses and cattle have single follicles dogs have compound follicles with a primary hair and smaller secondary hairs pigs have single follicles grouped in clusters cats have single follicles with primary guard hair surrounded by compound follicles
Hair follicle in farm animals
Structures in ruminants comparable to the digital pads of carnivores
Hoof pads or bulbs
Infraorbital pouches at medial canthus of eye interdigital pouches between digits of all four feet inguinal pouches near the base of the udder or scrotum
Cutaneous pouches in sheep
Located caudal to the base of the horn secretion increases during breeding season especially in bucks
Horn glands in goats
Two glands below the tail responsible for the bucks characteristic smell
Subcaudal glands in goats
Located on the mediopalmar aspect of the carpus produce sexual pheromones for marking during mating
Carpal glands in pigs
Wart-like skin eminence on the chin with both tactile and secretory functions
Mental chin glands in pigs
Found in all domestic species located in the external auditory canal produce ear wax to protect the tympanic membrane
Ceruminous glands
Located around the mouth especially the lower lip functional significance is likely for marking
Circumoral perioral glands in cats
Secretions mix with degenerated cells to form smegma
Preputial glands in horses
Predominant in humans restricted in the footpads of carnivores frog of the horse nasolabial region of ruminants and swine and carpus of pig function in territorial marking and thermoregulation
Eccrine merocrine sweat glands
Predominate in domestic species distributed throughout the skin ducts open into hair follicles
Apocrine sweat glands
Found over the entire body but sparse only horses sweat readily and in large amounts
Sweat glands in farm animals
Sensitive to circulating epinephrine equine sweat is rich in protein and foams when agitated
Equine sweat glands
Modified sweat glands that nourish young
Mammary glands
Term for all the mammae in ruminants and the horse
Udder
The four parts of the bovine udder each associated with one teat
Quarters
External indication of the separation of the two halves of the udder
Intermammary groove
