Comparing fiber quality characteristics and staple length in Suri and Huacaya alpacas

Introduction The textile industry considers alpaca fiber to be a specialty fiber. aim of this study was evaluate the influence color, breed, location, age, and sex alpacas on quality characteristics staple length. Methods Fiber samples were taken from mid-side 118 Huacaya Suri at two livestock shows (Pitumarca Maranganí) CICAS La Raya (South American Camelid Research Center), which is located in province Canchis (Cusco, Peru). Results discussion length black are similar those brown alpacas. finer, having lower mean diameter (MFD), SD, coefficient variation MFD than Alpacas have higher-quality unselected raised Raya. Staple longer Likewise, Pitumarca, followed by Maranganí, shorter Young adults, it females males. spinning fineness strongly correlated with other colored Conclusion These small herds judged produce high-quality 22 µm for industry.
