Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1994
Wool is the most neglected agricultural commodity in the UK. In many sheep enterprises the returns from wool represent less than 2% of the gross income and in some cases the value of the wool produced is less than the cost of shearing. Wool production, however, represents a potential avenue for agricultural diversification and, being a non-food ...

Preparation of Specimens from Wool Top and Cores for Electronic Wool Fineness Determination

Textile Research Journal, 1968
A study was made of means for rapidly preparing specimens from wool tops and grease wool cores for fineness measurement by an electronic particle size analyzer (Coulter Counter). 3 Factors such as types of blades, geometrical relationships of blade, fiber bundle, and anvil, and means of holding the specimen during cutting were varied.

Development and characterizations of super-fine wool powder

Powder Technology, 2004
Abstract Wool powder was produced from wool fiber after pretreated with 0.5% NaClO solution and then it was cut into short pieces and ground with a special designed machine. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photos showed that super-fine wool powder around 2 μm can be produced from the fibers around 25 μm in diameter, and most of the powder was in ...

THE INCIDENCE OF DYSTOCIA IN FINE‐WOOL MERINO EWES

Australian Veterinary Journal, 1975
The mean incidence of dystocia in 1,510 fine-wool Merino ewes over a ten-year period was 4.1% of ewes lambing. In the 10 year period, 10% of all neonatal mortality was attributed to dystocia and in only 23% of dystocias was lamb presentation abnormal. The incidence of dystocia was not related to age of ewe.

Stimulation of wool growth by thyroxine implantation. I. Liveweight changes and wool growth of fine-wool Merino wethers

Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 1964
Groups of 20 and 30 fine-wool Merino wethers were treated with L-thyroxine and their subsequent liveweight changes and wool production studied under a variety of grazing conditions for a year. Treatments comprised : (1) Single implantations of 60 mg in autumn, winter, spring, or summer. (2) Repeated

Clean wool colour and fatty acid content of semi fine wool

2009
The purpose of the present investigation was to compare the clean wool colour and the fatty acid composition of semi fine wool. The investigation was performed on 93 individual samples (from the shoulder, the back and the thigh) of 31 fleeces obtained from industrial batches of semi fine wool originating from Bulgaria, The Republic of Macedonia and The
