A comparison of some physical traits of Iraqi sheep wool [PDF]

Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2014
This study included analyzing data recorded of wool produced bales from Awassi, Karadi and Arabi sheep distributed in Mosul region, north and south of Iraq respectively for two years 2011 and 2012. Randomized samples were taken from these bales for dipped wool before shearing and raw wool (not dipped) to study percentage of clean wool (CW), vegetable ...

New polymorphism in the 5' flanking region of IGF-1 gene and its association with wool traits in Egyptian Barki sheep. [PDF]

J Genet Eng Biotechnol, 2017
Insulin-like growth factor-1 gene (IGF-1) is considered as a major candidate gene for the economic traits of animal production. Polymorphism of 5′ flanking region of IGF-1 gene in Barki sheep (n = 91) and its association with wool traits were studied ...

Genetics of Some Wool Traits in Sheep: A Review

Archives of Current Research International
Greasy fleece yield, staple length and fibre diameter are complex quantitative traits influenced by various genetic and environmental factors. Among non-genetic factors year of birth, gender of lamb, centre of rearing, parity and type of birth are known to influence wool traits in different sheep genetic resources.

Merino sheep: a further look at quantitative trait loci for wool production

Animal, 2010
A quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of wool traits from experimental half-sib data of Merino sheep is presented. A total of 617 animals distributed in 10 families were genotyped for 36 microsatellite markers on four ovine chromosomes OAR1, OAR3, OAR4 and OAR11.

Genetic parameters for wool traits in Finnsheep lambs

Agricultural and Food Science, 2008
Genetic parameters were estimated for wool characteristics of white and coloured Finnsheep. The data consisted of 5 309 lambs from ordinary production flocks, the Finnsheep nucleus flock and a breeding flock. The variance component estimation was done applying REML analyses.

Polymorphism of KRT83 and its association with selected wool traits in Merino-cross lambs

Small Ruminant Research, 2017
Keratins are structural proteins in the cortex of wool fibres. It is thought that variation in the keratin genes ( KRTs ) affects wool structure and characteristics.

Transcriptomic analysis revealed that oar-miR-370-3p was involved in the regulation of wool fineness in Ordos fine-wool sheep. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a prominent topic in biological research, as it plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes. Identifying miRNAs associated with fiber traits enhances our understanding of the complex biological mechanisms ...

Genetic correlations between wool traits and carcass traits in Merino sheep [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science, 2017
Genetic correlations between 29 wool production and quality traits and 14 whole carcass measures and carcass component traits were estimated from the Information Nucleus of 8 flocks managed across a range of Australian sheep production environments and genetically linked.

Genetic studies on growth and production traits in German Angora Rabbits under sub-temperate climatic conditions

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2022
This study aimed to assess the effect of genetic and non-genetic factors on growth, wool yield and wool characteristics of German Angora rabbit. Data was collected on 607 adult rabbits over a period of four years (2018-2021).
