Abstract

Hides and skins are by-products of slaughtered cattle, goats, sheep, and camels, among other animals. Hides are from larger animals like cattle and camels, while skins are from smaller animals like goats and sheep. Dairy animals are culled due to poor health, low production, and reproduction performance and usually taken for slaughter.
