Association analysis of the ovine KAP6-1 gene and wool traits in Barki sheep

Animal Biotechnology, 2020
Traditionally, sheep are raised in Egypt for meat and wool production. Selection for higher wool quality could increase its suitability for particular processing procedures in the wool industry, which maximizes the profit of the sheep production ...

Assessing Wiltshire Horn-Merino crosses. 1. Wool shedding, blowfly strike and wool production traits

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1994
Wiltshire Horn-Merino (WH-M) crosses of 1/2, 5/8 and 3/4 Merino content were compared over 10 years for wool shedding, blowfly strike frequency and wool production traits. Merinos and 1/2 Merino WH-M were compared over 4 years. For wool production traits, 1/2 and 5/8 Merino WH-M ewes were compared to Border Leicester-Merino (BL-M) ewes over 2 years ...

Relative economic importance of some wool quality traits for Merino and crossbred wool types

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, 1970
The economic weights of various quality traits of both Merino and crossbred wool types hive been estimated. Australian averages of clean wool prices for Australian Wool Board wool types, into which mid-side samples of fleece were classified, have been used.For each of fifteen seasons, 1953-54 to 1967-68, the mean clean wool price for each wool type was

Wool traits of three sympatric sheep populations in Chiapas Region, México

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2012
A total of 344 pure animals, representing seven American and South European breeds (White Chiapas Blanca, Brown Chiapas Café, Black Chiapas Negra, Churra Badana, Churra da Terra Quente, Chilean Latxa, and Spanish Merino), were randomly sampled and wool evaluated for isoalcohol scouring yield, length, and proportion for each type of fiber (long-thick ...

A study of some wool traits in two coarse wool breeds and their reciprocal crosses

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1978
SummaryIn a study of two coarse wool breeds (Awassi and Karadi) and their reciprocal crosses, data were obtained on the mean fibre length, mean fibre diameter, fibre type ratio, medullation and on the effect of some environmental factors on these traits. Reciprocal crosses showed intermediate values, in growth rate of fibres, percentages of fibre types

Quantitative genetic studies on wool yellowing in Corriedale sheep. 1. Wool yellowing susceptibility and wool production traits—genetic parameter estimates

Australian Journal of Agricultural Research, 1998
The potential for the reduction of wool yellowing susceptibility (YPC) in Corriedale sheep via selection was examined. The heritabilities of YPC and greasy fleece weight (GFW) and clean fleece weight (CFW), yield percentage (Yield), mean fibre diameter (MFD), and subjective greasy wool colour assessment (Visual), and phenotypic and genetic correlations

Genetic Evaluation of Early Growth Traits in Yunnan Semi-Fine Wool Sheep

Animals
Simple Summary The Yunnan semi-fine wool sheep is the first semi-fine wool sheep breed developed in China. This study investigates the non-genetic factors influencing early growth traits and estimates their genetic parameters, providing a scientific ...

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 ...

Nucleotide variation in the ovine KRT31 promoter region and its association with variation in wool traits in Merino-cross lambs

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
Keratins are the main structural proteins of wool fibres, and it is thought that variation in the keratins may affect wool fibre characteristics. Polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analyses were used to ...
