Introduction:

                                       I'm a 3rd year DVM student and my main purpose is to elaborate the distinguishing features of three main terms used during this course i.e Equines, Bovines, and Canines. As a DVM student, I clearly know that 1st-year students find it difficult to understand these terms at once. So my main focus is to clear your doubts and make your concept crystal clear.

Topics:

     1)Equines

       2)Bovines

       3)Canines

1)Equines:

                                   Equines consist of Horse, Zebras, Donkey, Mule, and Hinny. They are simple stomach animals means that they don't regurgitate.

Identification: 

                        The main points of identification of equines are:
  • They have an odd number of toes means that their hoof is not divided.
  • They have upper incisors (biting teeth).
  • They don't have horns.
  • Female has one pair of teats.
  • They have a comparatively long neck.

2)Bovines:

                                   Bovines consist of Cows, Buffalos, Goats, Sheep. They are compound stomach animals means that they have the ability to regurgitate.

Identification: 

                         The main points of identification of bovines are:
  • They have even number of toes means that their hoof is divided into two parts.
  • They don't have upper incisors but they possess a "Dental pad" that is hard.
  • They have horns.
  • They have four compartments of the stomach.
  • Female has two pairs of teats.

3)Canines:

                                    Canines consist of Dogs, Foxes, Jackals, and Cats. They are also simple stomach animals and don't have the ability of regurgitation.

Identification:

                        The main points of identification of canines are:
  • They don't have hoof but have digits.
  • They have two pairs of canine teeth (shearing teeth) each on one side.
  • Female has a number f teats.
  • They have erect ears.
  • They have a strong ability to smell.
  • They have long muzzles.
  • Canine teeth are prominent at the end of incisors.

      

         I hope after reading all the above-mentioned points your concepts become clear about the features of Equines, Bovines, and Canines.
