Effects of skirting on processing characteristics of Targhee wool
Journal of Animal Science, 1992Ninety mature Targhee ewes were randomly allocated to nine lots. Lots were randomly assigned to three fleece preparation treatments: 1) nonskirted (control); 2) bellies removed, in which bellies and topknots were removed on the shearing floor; and 3) skirted, in which bellies and topknots were removed and remaining fleece was thrown on a table and ...

On the Bulk Compression Characteristics of Wool Fibers
Textile Research Journal, 1955A method has been found to prepare bulk samples of wool fibers in such a way that reproducible compression tests may be performed upon them. An evaluation of the bulk compression characteristics of 29 widely different wool samples shows that compressive load, rather than resilience, serves to bring out differences among them. This finding suggests that

Set/Supercontraction Characteristics of Oxidized Wools
Textile Research Journal, 1969This paper reports changes in the set/supercontraction characteristics of wool fibers, after certain step-wise modifications using the oxidizing agents iodic acid, periodic acid, and perchloric acid. An attempt is made to analyze these data in the light of the existing knowledge of the modern wool-setting theory.

Factors affecting wool characteristics of sheep reared in Kashmir
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2020This study was conducted on 82,908 records of purebred and upgraded Kashmir Merino sheep to evaluate the performance of breed over the years. The data pertaining to fiber diameter (FD), staple length (SL), clean wool yield percent (CWY %), number of crimps/cm (NCPC), and medullation percent (MP) spread over a period of 15 years (2013-2017) was ...

Wool follicle characteristics in the Awassi fat-tailed sheep
Cells Tissues Organs, 1976In Awassi sheep, the total number of wool follicles per square millimetre was affected significantly by age, sex and type of birth. The density of the primary follicles was only significantly affected by age and type of birth. The secondary follicles to primary follicles (S/P) ratio values were 2.0 at birth, 4.0 at 2 months and 4.2 at 6 months of age ...

Wool Characteristics as an Indication of Nutritive Attributes in Herbage Varieties
Nature, 1969CERTAIN dietary constituents can influence both the quantity and quality of wool in sheep1–3. There is considerable variation between grasses in both organic and inorganic constituents4,5, but few comparisons have been made of the wool produced by sheep offered different grasses6 and we know of no previous work relating the quality of wool to a ...

MULTISTAGE SAMPLING FOR RAW WOOL CHARACTERISTICS
Australian Journal of Statistics, 1986SummaryThe problem of evaluating the sampling variance of a mean when units are subsampled from a multistage sample is discussed. In particular, a specific problem arising in the sampling of wool where information on the identity of subsampled units is not available is dealt with by introducing a simple model to account for the variability in the ...

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1969
SUMMARYInternal and external follicle diameters of both primary and secondary follicles of Texel x Ossimi and Merino x Barki ewes were greater, at birth, than those in either respective parent breed; the density of primary follicles at birth was less in the cross-breds than in the parental breeds, for both crosses.

Characteristics of the Protein Contaminant Layer on Merino Wool
Textile Research Journal, 1984Some characteristics of the protein contaminant layer (PCL) extracted from a typical Australian Merino wool have been studied. The PCL was separated into water-extractable and particulate fractions, the overall yield being 4.1 %, of which 45% was soluble in water.

Abstract In each of two years, pasture allowances of 0.7, 1.2, 1.7, or 2.2 kg dry matter (DM)/ewe per day were offered to groups of Romney ewes for 6 weeks in June — July. The ewes were then run together until weaning in December.
