2. BPIFA4P - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPIFA4P

   Sweat helps animals cool down, and in animals with pelts/fur BPIFA4/Latherin significantly reduces surface tension of sweat, acting as a wetting agent to facilitate evaporative cooling. Further, it is speculated that the presence of a surfactant protein in the saliva of ruminant animals (e.g., cow, horse, sheep) may assist in mastication of ...

To solve this, horses have evolved a detergent-like protein, latherin, that they release at high concentrations in their sweat. [10]

[3] Young foals have higher resting respiratory rates than adult horses, usually 36 to 40 breaths per minute. [3] Heat and humidity can raise the respiration rate considerably, especially if the horse has a dark coat and is in the sun.
