QUESTION

‘Veiny’ leather is a defect caused by?

OPTIONS

(A) Imperfect bleeding
(B) Demodex folliculorum
(C) Hypoderma lineatum
(D) Actinomyces spp.

ANSWER

(A) Imperfect bleeding

EXPLANATION

A veiny appearance in leather can result from imperfect bleeding, which leaves blood in superficial vessels and makes the vascular pattern conspicuous in the hide. Demodex, Hypoderma, and Actinomyces produce other skin or hide lesions rather than the classic veiny defect. Therefore, option (A) is correct.
