Ungulate
Definition:
(a.) Shaped like a hoof.
(a.) Furnished with hoofs. See the Note under Nail, n., 1.
(n.) Any hoofed quadruped; one of the Ungulata.
Example Sentences:
(1) Mysłajek says only scientific arguments – the need to regenerate forests and control the ungulate population – can save Europe’s wild carnivores, especially the unpopular wolf.
(2) In previous studies we reported that immunization of mice with ungulate insulins induced the development of antiinsulin antibodies, which include an idiotype that appeared to recognize the part of the insulin molecule recognized by the hormone receptor.
(3) The purpose of this publication is to describe a method by which this feat has been achieved in 150 pound ungulates undergoing prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass.
(4) SP-IR fibers were abundant in the musculature of the ungulate papillae at the reticulo-omasal orifice and in the smooth muscle of the omasal leaves, moderately dense in the omasal pillar, and low in density in the inner muscle layer of the reticulo-omasal orifice and in the muscle of the omasal wall.
(5) Comparison with other ungulates shows that pig myoglobin is far from other artiodactyls previously studied (ox and sheep) and close to the eutherian ancestral chain.
(6) The analytical results indicated that a lipid fraction from all of these sources contained ceramide, galactose, galactosamine, sulfate, and sialic acid in equimolar amounts, and that the fractions were similar to the ungulic acid isolated earlier from a horse's hoof.

(15) An investigation of brucellosis caused by Brucella suis, type 4, in reindeer, Rangifer tarandus L., and other ungulates inoculated experimentally with virulent isolates was undertaken to observe the course of infection, follow titres of serum agglutins, and determine the extent to which intraspecific and interspecific transmission might occur among confined animals.
(16) Unconjugated A was present in blood of the rodents and domestic ungulates studied, while the parent sulphate could be demonstrated only in rat, dog, pig and cow.
(17) The main characteristics of the Purkinje fibers are: cable-like structure in birds, ungulates, and proximal BB fibers of other mammals; lack of transverse tubular system; generally little contractile material associated with a high number of intermediate filaments; few mitochondria and low mitochondrial enzyme activity; high amount of glycogen and anaerobic ability rendering them relatively resistant to hypoxia.
(18) Some disease organisms were fed to a captive bird to discover if they could survive passage through the tract, and the role of these scavenging birds in the spread of diseases among wild ungulates is discussed.
(19) On the other hand regulations concerning game hunted for food (Deer: Red deer, Sika deer, Fallow deer, Roe deer; Horned ungulates: European mouflon, Chamois; Wild boar; European hare; European rabbit; game such as Badger and Raccoon) and regulations to be observed by hunters, mainly for the gaining of meat were discussed.
