Cashmere Production from Maraz Goats

Journal of Zankoy Sulaimani - Part A, 2008
Cashmere/down production of 118 Maraz goats (36 males and 82 females) aged one to five years and older was investigated. Evaluation was based on the down percentage in undercoat. The overall mean of live weight, fleece weight, down percentage, fiber diameter and fiber length were 26.8 kg, 699.7 g, 27.7 %, 22.5 μm and 57.7 mm, respectively.
