Description

Cow horns are natural, hollow, keratin-based structures that grow from the skulls of cattle. They vary in size, shape, and color depending on the breed and age of the animal, typically ranging from light cream and golden brown to deep black. Each horn is composed primarily of keratin — the same protein found in human hair and nails — with a solid bony core inside.

Cow horns are durable, non-porous, and highly valued for their versatility. After cleaning, polishing, and processing, they are used in various industries including:

Handicrafts and Decoration: Used for making traditional ornaments, drinking cups, buttons, knife handles, jewelry, and decorative art pieces.

Agricultural Use: Ground into powder (horn meal) and used as an organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen.
Industrial Use: Utilized in the production of combs, buttons, and other horn-based articles.

Cultural and Musical Uses: In some traditions, cow horns are crafted into blowing horns or ceremonial instruments.

Cow horns are eco-friendly, biodegradable, and often appreciated for their natural aesthetic appeal, making them a sustainable raw material for many artisanal and industrial application
