Özet:

 

The present study attempted to generate some basic information on wool production and quality in the Kari breed. Thirty flocks, 10 each in the 3 Union Councils (UCs), were registered for on-farm performance recording in the Lotkho Tehsil, north of Chitral city. Two animals per flock were selected for collecting fleece samples from 3 yearly shearings. The actual greasy wool yield per sheep was 937 g. Wool yield per shearing averaged 366 ± 9.6 g. Location and flock differences were found significant (P  0.5). The repeatability estimates of fibre diameter and staple length were 0.38 and 0.20, respectively. Sheep of 3-4 years of age had maximum fleece yield, while there was a declining trend thereafter. As the area is not approachable during winter season, research and developments efforts can be effective if nuclei could be established in the Lotkho area.
