Horse hooves used to be used, but not any more. -There are no animal parts in modern glues.
Animal glue is made from the collagen from various animal parts, including skin, bones, tendons, and other tissues. Horse parts are typically used, but rabbits and fish are sometimes used as well.

In the old days hooves and tendons were used to make glues. Now most glues are made from chemical products.
- Very few of the glues we use today are made from animal products. Some is made for antique restorers, but nothing the average person could find in a store
Hundreds of companies make glues.
Just parts of animals have been used to make glue. Animal collagen has been used for thousands of years to make glue. Hides from mammals, fish have been commonly used. Horses (often said to be "sent to the glue factory), cattle and pigs have been used. These days, most glues are synthetic.
Super glue
yes!
There are several commercial uses for different body parts of animals. The meat of many animals is sold as food as are the internal organs. The intestines of many animals are used as natural casings for sausages. The skin is used to make leather or fur. Bones are used to make tools or decorative items. Bones are also used to make the gelatine used in cooking.
Glues and adhesives are for joining things, not for actually making something.
Glue has traditionally been made from various animal parts, primarily collagen sourced from bones, hides, and connective tissues. Common animal-derived glues include those made from fish bladders (isinglass), hooves (gelatin), and skin (hide glue). These materials are processed to extract collagen, which, when dissolved in water, forms a sticky adhesive. Today, while synthetic adhesives are more common, animal-based glues are still used in some applications, especially in woodworking and fine art restoration.
'Glue' is too general a term for that question. -What makes some glues soften will make other glues harden. -Please be specific about which 'glue' you mean.
