Mélyhornyú

Mélyhornyú is a Hungarian term that translates to "deep-horned" or "deep-grooved." It is primarily used in the context of animal husbandry, specifically for livestock that possess horns with significant depth or curvature. This characteristic can be a desirable trait for certain breeds, influencing aspects such as visual appeal, display behavior, or even practical considerations in some environments.

The term is not a species classification but rather a descriptive adjective applied to animals with pronounced horn development. Breeds of cattle, sheep, and goats, among others, can be described as mélyhornyú if their horns exhibit these deep grooves or a pronounced, sweeping curve. The specific morphology of the horns can vary greatly depending on the animal's breed, genetics, and age.

In some agricultural contexts, mélyhornyú horns might be a factor in breed standards or might be selectively bred for. The aesthetic qualities of these horns can contribute to the perceived value or distinctiveness of certain animals. While not a universal term across all livestock terminology, it holds a specific meaning within Hungarian agricultural discourse.
