What are they made of? Is there a rough equivalent body part for humans? Are there differences between hooves on different animals such as cows and horses? Why can wild animals get by without hoof maintenance while farm animals do?

The nails on your hands!
The only difference in hooves on cows and horses are how many “toes” they have to grow from.
Just like how humans have 5 nails per arm
They are all made from keratin, so is your hair.
Wild animals keratin is more robust compared to animals that wear shoes, which allows them to grow softer. The difference is the use of the shoe. If you leave a farm animal long enough without shoes, their hooves will get stronger like a wild animals
Same thing can happen with the nails on humans hands!
