What is made from a hoof?

While the hoof itself is primarily made of keratin (the same material as our fingernails), nothing is typically made directly from the hoof of an animal.

However, hoof material is sometimes used in very specific applications:

* Glue: Historically, hoof glue was made from boiled hooves and hides, but this is very rare now.

* Fertilizers: Animal hooves can be composted and used as a fertilizer.

* Some traditional crafts: In some cultures, hooves might be used in specific crafts, like creating decorative items.

It's important to note that most modern uses of animal parts have been replaced by more ethical and sustainable alternatives.
