Description
The raw or dressed skin of a large animal such as an adult cow, horse, or Buffalo. A freshly slaughtered hide contains about 65% Water and 33% Protein (Kuhn 1986). Small amounts of other materials, such as fats, carbohydrates, and minerals, are also present. Tanning chemically changes the skin and makes it resistant to putrefaction. Hides are used for Leather and Glue production.
