Fleece weightand physical-mechanical properties of wool of Dupska Pramenka sheep

The aim of this study is to determine the actual weightof fleecein one-year shearing, length of fleece tuftsand physical-mechanical properties of wool: height and length of wool fiber, the ratio of length to height of wool fibers and fineness of wool fibers of dupska pramenka sheep. The average weight of fleecewas 2.12 kg in sheep and 3.34 kg in rams. The length of the tuftswas 20.92 cm at the shoulder, 21.75 cm on the posterior rib and 22.25 cm on the sheep, and 23.50 cm at the shoulder, 22.14 cm on the posterior rib and 23.64 cm on the pelvis. The height and length of the wool fiber insheep were 21, 97 cm and 22.85 cm at the shoulder, 22.38 cm and 23.10 cm on the posterior rib and 23.06 cm and 23.77 cm, respectively. The rams had the height and length of a woolen tuftsof 22.00 cm and 22.89 cmon the shoulder, 22.54 cm and 23.26 cm on the posterior rib and 22.61 cm and 23.40 cm onthe pelvis. The average fineness of the wool fiberfor sheep was 43.08 μ and 45.43 μ for rams. Based on the measurement of the thickness of the woolen fiber, it has been established that the fleece in examined sheep consists of mixed fibers: axillary (over 45μ) 51.64%in sheep and 54.91% in rams, transitional (30 - 45μ) 28.76% in sheep, and 32, 80%rams. The fluff fiber (10 -30μ) fleece was 19.83% in sheep and 12.98% in rams.
