Chickens are birds and are marginally different from any of the other animals viewed in lab (wings, beaks, etc. ) Sheep have 2 teats; cows have 4-6 (2 need to be removed if there are 6; there should be 1 teat per quarter), goats have 2 teats, and horses also have 2 teats. Horses are monogastric, hind fermenters and have a cecum that allows them to eat grass & have enzymes to help break down cellulose. Sheep tails have to be docked to avoid bacterial infection when they defecate: sheep manure is pelleted, dry, and compact.
