Study on Structure and Properties of Hu Sheep Wool

Abstract

Hu sheep is a unique lambskin sheep breed in China. The number of Hu sheep increases year by year, but its wool value is often ignored and has not been further developed. In order to avoid the waste of natural resources, it is necessary to study and analyze the structure and properties of Hu sheep wool, and explore the best way of development and utilization of Hu sheep wool. The differences between Hu sheep wool and other seven kinds of wool were compared in fiber morphology, fiber size, fiber structure, fiber strength, and hygroscopic property, etc. By understanding the structure and properties of Hu sheep wool, it provides a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of Hu sheep wool.
