ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the coarse outer guard hair and the fine down hair (cashmere) characteristics of Kilis and Damascus goats and to evaluate their potential for industrial use. Yearling goats, goats at first birth, second birth, and third birth were used as animal materials from Gaziantep. From the shoulder, rump, and rib areas of each goat, 20–25 g of the guard hair and the fine down hair (cashmere) samples were collected. These samples were examined in terms of diameter, length, tenacity, and elasticity at the Fleece and Mohair Laboratory of the International Livestock Research and Training Center. In the study, the average fiber diameter values were determined as 15.0 ± 0.08 and 15.1 ± 0.07 microns, and the fiber length values were 23.4 ± 0.38 and 22.4 ± 0.34 mm for Kilis and Damascus goats, respectively. In the light of these results, it can be said that the cashmere fiber diameter for both breeds is suitable for the textile industry. On the other hand, the fiber length is not long enough for the textile industry but can be evaluated by hand weaving method.
摘要
本研究旨在研究基利斯山羊和大马士革山羊的粗外护毛和细绒毛 (羊绒) 特征, 并评估其工业应用潜力. 一岁的山羊, 一胎, 二胎和三胎的山羊被用作来自Gaziantep的动物材料. 从每只山羊的肩部, 臀部和肋骨部位采集20-25克的保护毛和细绒毛 (羊绒) 样本. 这些样品在国际牲畜研究和训练中心的羊毛和马海毛实验室进行了直径, 长度, 韧性和弹性检查. 在本研究中, 基利斯山羊和大马士革山羊的平均纤维直径值分别为15.0 ± 0.08和15.1 ± 0.07微米, 纤维长度值分别为23.4 ± 0.38和22.4 ± 0.34mm. 根据这些结果, 可以说两个品种的羊绒纤维直径都适合纺织工业. 另一方面, 纤维长度对于纺织工业来说不够长, 但可以通过手工编织的方法进行评估.
