Physical Properties of Wool of Different Breeds of Sheep

چکیده
The studies on physical properties of wool of six breeds of sheep of Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir. Sixty wool samples, 10 from such of the six breeds were selected to study the physical properties of wool. The study revealed that Dorset (exotic) had maximum staple length followed by Rambuillet (exotic) had maximum staple length followed by Rambuillet (exotic), i.e. 6.03 cm and 5.74 cm respectively. The minimum staple length was in case of Kashmir Merino (cross bred), i.e. 4.94 cm. The other parameters, viz., fibre diameter, crimp, medullation percentage were also studied and the study revealed that Rambouillet (exotic) had the minimum fibre diameter, i.e. 17.63μ whereas the maximum fibre diameter was in case of Kajli (local) i.e. 43.77μ. These studies showed a lot of improvement in all the physical properties of local breeds after cross breeding.

Polymorphisms of KAP6, KAP7, and KAP8 genes in four Chinese sheep breeds.
High glycine-tyrosine proteins (HGTPs), also known as keratin-associated proteins (KAPs), play a key role in the major structures and mechanical properties of wool fiber. Sheep HGTPs consist of three multigene families: KAP6, KAP7, and KAP8 genes. Polymorphisms of these three genes have been proposed to have important effects on wool fiber traits. The aim of the present study was to identify po...
متن کاملImproving Colorant Absorption from Pistachio Hulls on Wool Fiber Using Protease Enzyme
Nowadays, textile processing based on biotechnology has gained its importance in the view of stringent environmental and industrial safety conditions. The use of protease enzymes in protein fibers to improve some physical and mechanical properties is particularly interesting. In this research, wool yarns were first treated with different concentrations of protease enzymes in aqueous solution in...

Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) belong to the superfamily of transforming growth factor β that is highly expressed in growing ovarian follicles of oocyte, and it has been strongly related to fecundity traits in sheep. Therefore, the GDF9 gene could serve as a genetic marker for improvement of reproductive performance in sheep. Therefore, the aim of this study was to invest...

b) Numbers. The total sheep population in the Chokla distribution area was 0.53 m according to the 1972 census and 0.511 m according to the 1977 census, thus showing a slight decline. Of these, adult males and adult females were 0.049 and 0.352 m respectively. Chokla is perhaps the finest carpet-wool breed, although most Chokla wool is now being diverted to the worsted sector because of the dea...
