Different proteins are linked to the varying thickness of sheep and goat hair types.

The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.

The research found specific proteins that affect fiber characteristics and hair growth in sheep and goats.

Understanding wool keratin-associated proteins in sheep can help improve wool quality through selective breeding.

Vicuña wool's quality is due to a high density of fine secondary hair follicles, and their skin glands may be used for communication.

Angora goat hair grows faster and produces more protein than cashmere goat hair, and certain hormones and nutrients positively affect hair growth and protein synthesis.

The industry should promote pure luxury hair fibers, improve technology, and diversify products to support growers and ensure sustainable use.

Genetic differences between young and old Tan sheep explain why their fleece changes from curly to straight as they age.

Prolactin and melatonin affect the growth of Angora and Cashmere goat hair differently.

Immunizing goats against melatonin can temporarily change their cashmere growth cycles and increase fleece production.

Both classical and L-type atypical BSE from cattle can infect goats with different incubation times, and tests can distinguish between the two strains.

Proteins influence the quality and traits of cashmere goat fleece, affecting hair strength and diameter.

Adding bentonite clays to goat diets increased milk yield, periwinkle shell improved chicken egg production, and vaccination increased muscle area and carcass yield in calves.
