Heritability estimates of wool follicle traits in sheep skin

Animal Science, 1984
ABSTRACTData were collected from 600 newborn lambs, offspring of 354 Western crossbred ewes and 26 rams, to determine heritability estimates as well as phenotypic and genetic correlations between wool follicle variables using histological techniques. Breed of sire and sire within breed were significant sources of variation in total and secondary wool ...

Inheritance of moisture content in greasy and clean wool and its relationship to other wool traits in Merinos

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2006
Moisture in greasy wool is associated with wool yellowing, fleece rot and fly strike, whereas the high moisture content of wool fabric is related to desired woollen fabric traits. This paper reports on a simple gravimetric method of determining greasy and clean wool moisture contents to determine fleece moisture heritability.

Associativity of selected traits in Aginskaya semicoarse wool sheep

Russian Agricultural Sciences, 2016
Research findings in the phenotypic correlations of the live weight to the body measurements and the body conformation indices in the replacement young stock of the semicoarse wool sheep of the Aginskaya breed have been reported. It is ascertained that males surpass the females in the live weight and the body measurements.
