Extract

Many studies have been carried out to determine the quantity and quality of mohair production, and high variation reported by some workers for fleece trait in Angora goats (1, 2, 3, and 4). But very little is known about mohair production in colour coated Markhoz goats. The objective of this study was to determine the fleece characteristics, analyse the effects of some environmental factors on fleece traits and estimate the heritability for the average fibre diameter and yearling fleece weight in Markhoz goats.
