Some cashmere characteristics of hair goats raised in Van province

Abstract: The aim of this study was to uncover certain physical properties of cashmere fibres obtained from goat hair in Van, Turkey, and determine their usability in the textile sector. For this purpose 36 hair goats were studied, aged between two and three years old, obtained from breeders at Van...

For this purpose 36 hair goats were studied, aged between two and three years old, obtained from breeders at Van Yüzüncü Yil University Livestock Facilities and the Özalp and Başkale districts of Van, with twelve goats being taken from each breeder.
