Secondary follicle development in Australian cashmere goats

Small Ruminant Research, 1991
Abstract Development of secondary hair follicles was studied in three sets of twin goat kids, from two weeks to fourteen months of age, in order to determine the age at which full cashmere production potential has been reached. Kids achieved maximum secondary follicle development (determined from monthly skin secondary to primary follicle (S:P) ratio

Diet quality affects the cashmere production and liveweight of Western Australian cashmere goats

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1994
Young cashmere bucks (n = 113; offspring of mating of domesticated mainland feral does with commercial mainland, Bernier, and Faure Island bucks) were offered a high protein-high energy pelleted diet of lucerne chaff, lupin seed, and barley grain [crude protein, 202 kg; dry matter (DM) solubility, 75.0%] or a low protein-low energy diet of oaten ...

Enteric coccidia of Cashmere goats in southwestern Montana, USA

Veterinary Parasitology, 1994
A survey of enteric coccidia was made in a Cashmere goat herd in Montana, USA. Eimerian oocysts were found in 97.2% of 616 fecal samples. Newly weaned wethers and does had higher oocyst counts than yearling wethers. Nine Eimeria species were identified, with Eimeria arloingi, Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae and Eimeria alijevi jointly comprising 88.3% of all

Measurement of the components of the cashmere growth cycle in Australian cashmere goats

Small Ruminant Research, 1995
Seasonal growth and shedding of cashmere fibre makes total fleece weight measurements difficult to interpret in relation to environmental and experimental variables. In studies of the effects of nutrition and photoperiod on cashmere growth, a technique has been developed which provides statistically analysable values for growth rates, maximum fibre ...

Cashmere galore from gene-edited goats

New Scientist, 2016
A team in China has created goats that produce a third more cashmere than standard goats. The researchers at the Shanbei Cashmere Goat Farm of Yulin University used the CRISPR gene-editing technique to disable the FGF5 gene, which limits hair growth. In the Shanbel breed of cashmere goats.

Skin follicle development in the Australian cashmere goat

Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 1992
Follicle densities, S/P ratios and follicle number indices (FNI) of fibre-bearing primary (Pf) and secondary (Sf) follicles, and body weights, were taken sequentially on 224 kids at birth and at mean ages of 57, 107 and 301 days. All primary follicles but few secondary follicles were mature (fibre-bearing) at birth and Sf number increased 10 fold in ...

Cashmere-producing goats in Central Asia and Afghanistan

Animal Genetic Resources Information, 2009
SummaryIndigenous goats of Central Asia and Afghanistan produce cashmere, the warm undercoat grown annually to protect them from cold winters. Cashmere is appreciated in luxury markets, but there are no efforts to conserve these goats. Commercial assessments of their fibre quality have recently been undertaken. Poorer villagers in the most climatically

Fertility of young Cashmere goats after laparoscopic insemination

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1991
SUMMARYMaiden 18-month-old Cashmere does (JV=254) were inseminated laparoscopically with frozenthawed semen after treatment with Controlled Internal Drug Release devices and pregnant mare's serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) in the breeding season of 1989 in Tasmania.

Melatonin and fleece growth in Australian cashmere goats

Small Ruminant Research, 1995
Three groups each of eight Australian cashmere goats (four males, four females, 10 months old) were implanted at the base of the ear with melatonin pellets (18 mg) between July and October (July group), January and April (January group), or sham implanted (control).
