埃塞俄比亚有当地的绵羊品种,如Washera,Menz,Farta,还有Tikur.小型企业正在使用这些品种的羊毛纤维生产地毯等本地产品,袜子,毛衣,被子,和床垫。本研究调查了四只埃塞俄比亚绵羊品种的羊毛纤维产量和回潮率特性。总共四百只羊,其中50%的雄性和50%的雌性绵羊,包括在研究中。结果表明,根据IWTOCWC标准,Washera雄性绵羊的平均羊毛纤维产量,Menz,Farta,Tikur占89.29%,88.29%,73.33%,和81.74%,母羊占88.75%,81.91%,73.23%,80.80%,分别。与某些国家的其他绵羊品种相比,选定的埃塞俄比亚羊毛纤维产量更高。研究还显示,Washera的原羊毛纤维回潮率值,Menz,Farta,Tikur的比例为10.67%,16.91%,11.11%,公羊10.71%,11.92%,15.91%,11.83%,母羊为9.22%,分别。这表明具有良好纤维产量和回潮率的埃塞俄比亚羊毛纤维可用作制造不同羊毛产品的来源。
Ethiopia has indigenous breeds of sheep such as Washera, Menz, Farta, and Tikur. Small-scale enterprises are using the wool fibers from these breeds to produce local products such as rugs, socks, sweaters, quilts, and mattresses. This study investigates four Ethiopian sheep breeds wool fiber yield and moisture regain properties. Four hundred total sheep, of which 50% males and 50% female sheep, were included in the study. The result revealed that the average wool fiber yield according to the IWTO CWC standard of male sheep for Washera, Menz, Farta, and Tikur were 89.29%, 88.29%, 73.33%, and 81.74%, and for female sheep were 88.75%, 81.91%, 73.23%, and 80.80%, respectively. The selected Ethiopian wool fiber yield showed higher as compared to other sheep breeds of some countries. The study also revealed that the raw wool fiber moisture regain values of Washera, Menz, Farta, and Tikur were 10.67%, 16.91%, 11.11%, and 10.71% for male sheep and 11.92%, 15.91%, 11.83%, and 9.22% for female sheep, respectively. This shows that the Ethiopian wool fiber having good fiber yield and moisture regain can be used as a source of manufacturing different wool products.
