The animal that received genetic material or other biological material. In embryo transfers, the animal from which the embryos are removed is usually referred to as the donor, while the one that receives and carries the embryo is the recipient.

A salt lick (also known as a mineral lick) is a place where animals can go to lick essential mineral nutrients from a deposit of salts and other minerals. Mineral licks can be naturally occurring or artificial (such as blocks of salt that farmers place in pastures for livestock to lick). (Adapted from Wikipedia. 2025.
