Abstract

To study of environmental effects (sex and age) on fleece traits of dromedary camel in Sistan and Balouchestan province, 48 male and female which rose in five cities (Zahedan, Zabol, Khash, Iran-shahr and Ghabahar) belonging to three age groups (<2, 2-6 and >7 years) were measured. Results indicated that there was not significantly different between sexes and age groups for all of fleece parameters, expect staple length of hump was effect by sex and also rump staple length and scoured yield were effect by age groups (P< 0.05). The means of shoulder, flank, rump, hump and overall four spots staple lengths were 4 (± 1.6), 2.6 (± 1.2), 2.6 (± 1.4), 4.4 (± 1.9) and 3.5 (± 0.13) cm. The means of inner coat, fiber diameter and coefficient of variation of fiber diameter, and scoured yield were 82 (± 1.07)%, 36.7 (± 1) micron, 38.8 (± 0.9)% and 74.3 (± 0.09)% res. The ranges varied of these characters were from 58.3 to 94%, 16.8 to 39.2 micron, 26.1 to 61% and 61.2 to 84.5%, respectively.
