The rumores of hooves in Jello are not true. The source of the protein in Jell-O is "hide trimmings," animal tissue that is rendered, purified, filtered, and then purified again, leaving a protein called collagen.

"Well, it's not cow hooves...But the real answer isn't pretty. In fact, it's hard to believe that we can create such lovely and delicious molded dessert products out of the discarded animal parts used to create commercial gelatin. But if you'd like to know more, just keep reading!
Jell-O, like all gelatin products (including those made for photographic and laboratory use, as well as for desserts!) is made out of hides, bones, and inedible connecting tissue! Gelatin can be extracted from any kind of animal, but cows are most common.
If you've ever made a batch of chicken soup from scratch, you've probably seen how it gets stiff and Jell-O like after it sits in the fridge...That's because boiling the chicken in water extracts the gelatin from the carcass, just like a miniature version of the commercial gelatin factories!
Commercial gelatin making starts by grinding up bones. The crushed bones are then soaked in a strong base to soften them, and then passed through progressively stronger acid solutions, until the end result isn't recognizable as bones at all! Then the whole mess is boiled for hours to extract the gelatin...and this part really makes a stink!
Finally, the gelatin layer is skimmed off the boiling pot, and dried into a powder. With added sugar, flavorings, and artificial color, it's ready to become a jiggly dessert!"

Gelatin (which causes Jello to gel) is a translucent brittle solid substance extracted from the collagen inside animals' connective tissue. Horns and hooves are not normally used, but they can be. blech

At one time and maybe still, gelatin (Jello) was made from the keratin from the hooves of cows and horses.

Gelatin is a protein produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from connective tissues of animals such as the domesticated cattle, pigs and horses.

They use hooves and bones and skin to make gelatin.
