METHOD OF WOOL QUALITY ASSESSMENT ON FINENESS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A01K67/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method includes definition of a wool fineness of investigated animal with subsequent choice of selection direction on this indicator of wool productivity. In investigated wool in addition urea-bisulphite solubility is defined and estimation is made, defining graphically arrangement of crossing point of received results of a fineness (x, micron) and urea-bisulphite solubility of a wool (y, %) with the subsequent analysis of their placing concerning normed space limited by a line, formed on equation y = -ax+b, where y - urea-bisulphite solubility; a, b - factors calculated separately for each herd; x - fineness, received on average indexes of dependences for a wool of breeding and commodity animals, thus in case of received results finding on a line or above it, it is considered, that wool of investigated animal meets set requirements of quality on fineness and it is made decision to continue with this animal breeding work by an estimation wool production, otherwise - investigated animal is subject to a culling from a further breeding work in a wool productivity direction.

EFFECT: better estimation of a woollen fibre at selection of animals.
