hippuric acid

It resembles Benzoic, and undergoes the same change into Hippuric acid.

This is largely urea in mammals, with much hippuric acid in herbivorous animals and uric acid in birds and reptiles.

In the herbivora the nitrogenous waste takes the form of another body called hippuric acid.

The glands secrete hippuric acid which passes from the pericardium into the renal organs.

Hippuric acid, on the other hand, is most abundant when the animal is fed on hay and straw.
