Anyone who thinks the ox is just meat is wrong. Even Vegans who, by lifestyle, do not consume any food of animal origin, may be using products of bovine origin without knowing it.
The list is very extensive, lipstick, tire, fireworks and even sugar can be produced from the ox. The list also includes medicines, beauty or decoration products, as well as clothes, ice cream, chewing gum and even grease.
From bovine blood, for example, wood glue can be made; from the placenta, skin cream and, from the intestines, string for tennis rackets. Everything is taken advantage of, from the guts to the fur.
The bovine is transformed into countless by-products used in food, agriculture, health, processing industry, among others.
Note: It was publicized on social networks that they would be using ox blood in coffee. The story tells that trucks with blood coming out of refrigerators would be delivering to companies that produce coffee powder. This has already been confirmed that it is a lie! Stay tuned and see below for a correct list.
See ten curious products made from bovine parts:
1 – Powder for fire extinguisher
The chemical foam used to extinguish the flames can use a percentage of bovine hoof dust.
2 – Lipstick
Collagen taken from the brain of the ox is used as a fixative in lipsticks and other cosmetics.
3 – Sugar
Some companies use purified ash made from bovine bones to refine sugar.
4 – Toothpaste
The glycerin present in toothpastes, and also in shampoo and conditioner, comes from bovine fat.
5 – Tires
Ox Fat contains stearic acid, used to preserve the tire’s shape under intense friction.
6 – Fireworks
Like tires, explosives also have stearic acid in their formula.
7 – Estrogen and progesterone
The hormones that prepare the woman’s uterus for a possible pregnancy are extracted from the cow’s ovaries.
8 – Porcelain
Porcelain tableware can be made, among other components, with at least 50% beef bone ash, which makes the pieces translucent and more durable.
9 – Insulin
The essential hormone for diabetics is taken from the animal’s pancreas.
10 – Biofuel
In addition to sugar cane and castor beans, biofuel can also be made from beef fat.
