Casting of the fleece in sheep. Estimation of experimentally induced fibre shedding rate
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
A simple and rapid technique for estimating changes in fibre brush-end formation rate is described. The technique was used to give a quantitative estimate of the extent of brush-end formation induced by exogenous hormonal treatment of normal sheep and to establish the time relationship between treatment, fibre brush-end formation and the subsequent casting of the fleece.
