The main differences between bovine collagen type 1&3 and fish collagen type 1&3 are as follows:
1.Source and environmental impact:
Bovine collagen is mainly derived from cowhide, while fish collagen is derived from fish skin and scales. The production of fish collagen has less impact on the environment because they are usually made from fishery byproducts and fish have much lower greenhouse gas emissions than beef
2.Amino acid composition and hydroxyproline content:
The content of hydroxyproline (Hyp) in bovine collagen is significantly higher than that in fish collagen. Hydroxyproline is an amino acid unique to collagen and is usually used to reflect the content of collagen
3.Cost and production:
The cost of bovine collagen is usually higher than that of fish collagen, mainly due to the higher cost of cattle breeding and the more complicated extraction process
4.Biocompatibility and absorbability:
Fish collagen has high digestibility and absorbability, excellent thermal stability in aqueous solution, excellent affinity with human skin, and can well play its functions of penetration, moisturizing, and repair
5.Structure and function:
Type I collagen is the main component of human skin, bones, tendons and other tissues, while type III collagen is mainly found in infant skin or vascular endothelium and is called "baby collagen". There may be differences in the structure and function of bovine collagen and fish collagen in these types.
6.Religion and personal preference:
Fish collagen provides an option for people who do not eat terrestrial animals, such as vegetarians or people with certain religious beliefs.
7.Types and range:
Collagen has a wider range of types and types, including bovine bone collagen, cowhide collagen, etc., while fish collagen is mainly distinguished according to different species of fish, and the types are relatively few.

The different applications of bovine collagen and fish collagen in the medical field are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1.Biocompatibility and immunogenicity:
Collagen is widely used as a medical biomaterial due to its low immunogenicity, good biocompatibility and biodegradability.
Bovine collagen and fish collagen both have these properties, but fish collagen is considered to have higher biocompatibility because of its abundant sources, low risk of viral transmission, low biological risk and low religious barriers.
2.Medical dressings:
Collagen is used in medical dressings due to its high hydrophilicity, excellent biocompatibility and degradability. Studies have shown that gel dressings prepared with silver carp skin collagen and bovine collagen as raw materials have different properties and application effects. Silver carp skin collagen gel (SCG) is superior to bovine tendon collagen gel (CTG) in rheology and ductility, but slightly lower than CTG in denaturation temperature and water retention.
3.Tissue repair and regeneration:
Collagen is widely used in hemostatic agents and wound dressings, biological patches, bone repair materials, drug release carriers, and as tissue engineering scaffolds.
Bovine collagen and fish collagen can both promote cell proliferation and platelet aggregation, which helps repair, regenerate, and rebuild defective tissues.
4.Specific applications:
Due to its small molecule peptide structure, fish collagen is easier to enter the dermis of the skin, and has a more obvious effect on skin whitening and lightening, such as removing chloasma and freckles.
Bovine bone collagen is more effective in improving sleep and osteoporosis, and has a positive effect on improving insomnia, sleep quality, and fatigue and sore hands and feet.
5.Environmental impact and sustainability:
The production of fish collagen has less impact on the environment because they are usually made from fishery by-products, and fish emit much less greenhouse gases than beef.
6.Religion and personal preferences:
Fish collagen provides an option for people who do not eat terrestrial animals, such as vegetarians or people with certain religious beliefs.
