Dar khurok G.-i hayvonoti kalonu khurd va dar baze kishvarho gushti asp, gajgov, shutur, ohu, bazan gushti hayvonoti vahshi – guroz, khirs, shohgavazn, gavazn, inchunin gushti parrandahoro ba kor mebarand.
Tarkibi G. az safedahoi khushsifat, charbho, vitaminho, moddahoi minerali iborat ast. Organizmro bo safeda va charb asosan G. tamin mekunad. Safedahoi boftai mushak az hama mufidtar meboshand. Safedahoi boftai payvandi, asab va tagoyak az jihati tarkibi khimiyavi va hozima qimati chandon baland nadorand. Ravgani G., khususan G.-i gov va gusfand, ba zudi ob nameshavad; ravgani khuk teztar ob va osontar hazm megardad. G. manbai khubi fosfor, ohan, kaliy, natriy, ruh, mis, yod va dig. moddahoi minerali meboshad. Vitaminho (asosan vitamini V) beshtar dar uzvhoi dokhili, alalkhusus dar jigar va boftai charbi jam shudaand. G. moddahoi qiyomii bisyor dorad, ki onho dar vaqti pukhtani G. mebaroyand. Moddahoi nomburda kori gadudhoi hozimaro taqviyat doda, ishtiho meorand, hazmi khurokro behtar mekunand, tamu bui G.-ro to andozae dilkash mesozand. G.-i khushsifatro az namud, sakhtiyu narmi, rang va buy shinokhtan mumkin ast. G.-i taru toza surkh va andak sakht meshavad (chuqurchae, ki hangomi bo angusht zer kardan paydo meshavad, ba zudi barham mekhurad). G.-i khunukkarda yo khunukshudaro chand ruz dar yakhdon nigoh doshtan mumkin ast; G.-i yakhkardaro dar sarmodon nigoh medorand.
