What Is Bovine?

By Jen Drake, eHow Contributing Writer

Bovinae is a scientific classification for a specific subfamily of mammals that includes cows, oxen and buffalo. Members of the Bovinae subfamily, specifically cattle, are commonly called bovines. Bovines are part of a larger family, Bovidae, which also includes antelope, sheep and goats.

History

According to zoologist Brent Huffman, the earliest traces of bovines were found in Asia about 18.5 million years ago. Bovine animals tend to have larger bodies than other members of the Bovidae family due to the cooler climates in which they evolved. While some bovine species remain wild, many have been domesticated by humans.

Features

Bovines are heavy animals typically weighing about 440 pounds, though some can be as heavy as 1,100 pounds. Male bovines tend to weigh more than females, and adult males grow horns. In a few bovine species, the females also have horns, though they are smaller than those found in their male counterparts. Bovines are considered ungulates, meaning they are mammals with hooves.
 
Bovine Disease

Bovines have gained notoriety in recent years because of the outbreak of mad cow disease. Known to scientists as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (or BSE), mad cow disease appeared in cattle in the 1970s and 1980s. By the mid-1990s, the disease became epidemic in humans. At the peak of the epidemic in the United Kingdom in 1993, approximately 1,000 people were infected each week. BSE did not peak in the U.S. and Canada until 2006. While the epidemic has largely subsided, mad cow disease remains a threat today.

Bovine Benefits

In addition to being an important food source for humans, cattle are instrumental in technological advances. According to the National Geographic website, scientists can use bacteria found in the stomachs of cows and in cow manure to produce electricity that can power microbial fuel cells, making the bacteria a natural substance to produce clean, renewable energy.

Bovines as Food

Many types of bovine are a food source around the world. Cattle provide both milk and beef--both staples of a traditional American diet. Hindus, however, consider bovines sacred animals and do not eat them. According to PBS, India outlaws the killing or injuring of a cow. The Hindus' deference for cows stems from their earliest religious texts in which Lord Krishna vowed to take care of cows. In fact, the term "sacred cow" refers to something that is to be held in the highest regard and is never to be sacrificed.

Hey there. I noticed your site title, "Blogger: Knowledge Era" does not really reflect the content of your web site.
When creating your website title, do you believe it's most beneficial to write it for Search engine optimization or for your visitors? This is something I've been battling with mainly because
I want great rankings but at the same time I want the best quality for
my site visitors.

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and all. However imagine if you
added some great pictures or videos to give your posts
more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this blog could definitely be one of the very best in its niche.

Excellent blog!

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Many thanks!

Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?

I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any tips?

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having a
blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% certain.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have
any solutions to stop hackers?

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.

You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just
posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

Surfing around digg.com I noticed your website bookmarked as: Blogger: Knowledge Era.
Now i'm assuming you book-marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social book-marking gets you a large amount of site visitors? I've been thinking
of doing some social bookmarking for a few of my websites but wasn't certain if it would yield any positive results. Thank you very much.
