Wool Efficiency and Some Wool Properties in Akkaraman Sheep
Journal Title: MAS Journal of Applied Sciences - Year 2023, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
In this research, in 60 sheep of Akkaraman sheep herd raised in Ankara province, Haymana district, Sındıran District; The live weight and fleece yield of sheep at shearing and fleece samples were taken, wool yield and some fleece properties (efficiency(%), fiber diameter (fineness, μm), fiber length (length, mm), elasticity(%) and strength(cntex-1)) were examined. In addition, the relationship between the live weight of the shepherd and the wool yield and wool characteristics were examined. The effect of sheep gender and age on fleece properties was also investigated. Assuming that there is no significant interaction among the factors whose effect will be examined, the Least Squares Method was used in the analysis of environmental factors. The significance test of the differences between the groups was done with the Duncan test.
