The hook bone, or ilium, in cows is part of the pelvic structure and plays a crucial role in supporting the animal's weight and facilitating movement. It serves as an attachment point for various muscles and ligaments that are important for locomotion and stability. Additionally, the hook bones help protect the internal organs located in the pelvic cavity.
