Wool-bearing productivity of local goat of karakalpakstan

The article presents the results of studying shearing and quality of wool of local goat of Karakalpakstan. Wool of goat of Uzbekistan is heterogeneous, consists of thin soft pile and coarse bright hair. Pile, which grows during one autumn and winter, lose color in spring. Natural length of wool was measured in the range of paddle, barrel and haunch with the help of metal ruler. Examples of wool were sheared for studying the relation of different types of fiber in wool and their thinness with the range of barrel. In wool of goats, over hair fiber was more than in wool of young goats. By this pile fibers were characterized by necessary thinness, and over hair was enough thick and crimp. Studying natural wool length of goats showed that in all situations in bucks the same as goats, the wool on haunch was longer than on paddle and barrel. And wool length on paddle and on barrel was approximately the same. Hair resilience changes according to the moisture and etc. More rich and lush pastures, and also wet climate favors development of the wool-bearing productivity of animals. Till the recent times in the most regions of Uzbekistan pile did not comb out from goat. In spring it was sheared off together with hair, and after it was separated by hand.
