An analysis of the wool characteristics that determine wool price in South Africa
Research Journal of Textile and Apparel, 2023Purpose South Africa’s wool industry plays an important role in the agricultural sector. The wool industry provides a valuable source of income for farmers who practice sustainable farming practices. However, wool farmers face numerous challenges, such as wool contamination, dirty wool and producing good-quality wool.

Fluorescence Characteristics of Modified Wool
Textile Research Journal, 1969The reduction of disulfide bonds in wool by tri-n-butylphosphine enhances the fluorescence. Subsequent S-alkylation also affects the fluorescence intensity and charge in the neighborhood of the chromophoric group. In acylation of wool, short-chain and bifunctional acylating agents exert a greater quenching effect on the fluorescence ...

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 ...

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.

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

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 of Iraqi Awassi sheep
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1965The physical wool characteristics of 268 Iraqi Awassi ewes were studied in 1963, as well as the relationship between some of these traits. The overall average grease fleece weight, clean wool percentage, staple length, fibre length, fibre diameter and degree of crimp were 3·77 lb., 84·85%, 16·47 cm., 17·37 cm., 33·32/t and 4·18 crimps per 2 cm ...

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 ...

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.
