Genetic association of wool quality characteristics in United States Rambouillet sheep

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Introduction: Fine wool production is an important source of revenue, accounting for up to 13% of total revenue in extensively managed wool sheep production systems of the United States. The Rambouillet are a predominant breed that excels in wool quality

EFFECT OF WATER AND FEED SALINITY ON COAT COVER TRAITS OF BARKI SHEEP IN SOUTH SINAI [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Science, 2018
Twenty nine Barki sheep ewes (2-3 years old) were randomly assigned into four groups (7, 7, 8 and 7 animals for group 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively) to investigate the impact of salinity in both water and feed on some wool fiber traits (greasy fleece ...

Study of Wool Characteristics in the Aranese Ovine Breed [PDF]

International Journal of Morphology, 2011
To date, no ethnological study on the wool characteristics of the Spanish Aranese ovine breed has been published.Fifty three animals belonging to this breed are tested as fleece samples. Each sample is analyzed for fleece type and length, yield by isoalcohol scouring, fiber length for each kind of fiber, variation in fiber diameter, and proportions of ...

Flammability Characteristics of Animal Fibers: Single Breed Wools, Alpaca/Wool, and Llama/Wool Blends [PDF]

Fibers, 2019
Animal protein-based fibers used in textiles often are assumed to have uniform properties independent of source, and yet are different when considering texture, structure, and color. Differences between fibers from animal species have been studied in regard to general flammability behavior, but differences between fibers from breeds of the same species

RELATIONSHIP OF CHEMICAL AND SOME PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF FIBRES IN SHEEP AND GOATS [PDF]

Journal of Animal and Poultry Production, 2002
Wool and hair samples were obtained from fleeces representative of 40 adult animals (20 Barki ewes and 20 Baladi does). Wool and hair samples were divided into two types of fibres, coarse and fine for wool and outer and inner coat for goat hair fibres
