Som cashmere characteristics of German Fawn X Hair goat (B1) Crossbereds and shami (Damascus) goats of the Eastern Mediterranean Region

Bu çalışma Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesinde Şam (Damaskus) keçileri ve Alman Alaca x Kıl keçi (G,) melezleri ile yapılmıştır. Hayvanlar yarı entansif şartlar altında, yarı açık barınaklarda tutulmuşlardır. Her iki grup laktasyon süresince merada otlatılmış ve 600 g/keçi/gün kesif yem tüketmiştir. Keşmir 2005 yılı Şubat, Mart ve Nisan aylarında 15 gün ara ile taranarak hasat edilmiştir. Keşmir kıllarının çapı, visopan mikroskobu kullanılarak her keçinin 25 kılının ölçümü ile uzunluk ise cetvel yardımı ile ölçülmüştür. Çalışma sonunda Şam keçisi ve melezlerde ortalama incelik ve uzunluk, sırasıyla, 13,5 ± 0,1 um, 12,6 ±0,1 um ve 18,3 ± 0,2 cm, 18,5 ± 0,2 cm olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca, incelik ve uzunluğun kıl dökümü zamanına göre değiştiği de saptanmıştır.

Alman Alaca X Kıl keçi (G1) melezleri ve Şam (Damaskus) keçilerinin Doğu Akdeniz Bölgesindeki bazı keşmir özellikleri

This study was carried out with Damascus (Shami) goats and German Fawn x Hair goat (B,) crossbreds at Mustafa Kemal University. Animals were housed in semi-open sheds under semi-intensive conditions. Both groups were fed 600 g/head per day of concentrate and grazed in a pasture during lactation. Moulted cashmere was harvested by combing in February, March, and April, 2005, at 14-day intervals. The dimensions of cashmere fibres were determined by measuring 25 cashmere fibres from each goat using a Visopan microscope; fibre length was measured with a ruler. Mean diameter and length of cashmere for Shami and the crossbreds was calculated as 13.5 ±0.1 urn and 18.3 ± 0.2 cm, and 12.6 ±0.1 urn and 18.5 ± 0.2 cm, respectively. Results also revealed that both diameter and length of cashmere showed considerable variation for. both genotypes across the moulting days during the season.
