Abstract

In this research some physical characteristics of down fibers obtained from hair x Angora (131) crossbred goat were examined. The diameter of fiber, natural length, real length and number of crimps of the down fibers were 20.08 +/- 0.50 p, 3.77 +/- 0.17 cm, 6.22 +/- 0.23 cm and 9.79 +/- 0.34, respectively. In addition the strongest color determined in this research were white (63.93%) and light brown (18.03%). According to the diameter of fiber, the down fibers of hair goats included cashmere (55.33%) cashgora (24.03%) and mohair (20.64%).
