To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Vl] THE EXCRETORY ORGANS 83 The urine of the horse has normally a specific gravity of about 1036 (that of man being about 1020). In colour horses' urine is yellowish-brown, rapidly becoming brown on standing. It is alwaj^s turbid (owing to suspended calcium and magnesium carbonates). Its odour is due to aromatic substances. Indican and hippuric acid are well-marked constituents, the latter taking the place of uric acid. Phosphates are absent or only present in small amounts. The quantity secret...ed depends upon the season, the diet, and the amount of work done. On a nitrogenous diet the amount of water in the urine is greater ; on a diet of oats and no hay the mucinous substances are more numerous and may be so much so that the urine has the consistency of egg albumin. In winter owing to the effect of cold on the skin the quantity of urine is greater than in summer. For a similar kind of reason horses at work secrete less than horses at rest. The urine of mares during oestrus may have the consistency of oil.
