Qureshi) ........ 201 Reco1111Dendations. 215 List of Participants. 217 iv l'OUWORD Small ruminants (SR) are important in agricultural enterprises in the Near East (NE) region, and are the basic source of animal protein and cash to large communities in the region. NE region raises more than one fifth of the world's sheep and goat population and the demand for their products are rapidly increasing in the region. On the basis of these considerations, the Near Wast Regional Cooperative Research and Development Network on Small Ruminants was established the first of its kind in the region. The Technical Consultation of the NE Regional Cooperative Research and Development Network on Small Ruminants held in Rome in 22-24 October 1986, recommended successive regional workshops on SR research and development. Ministry of Agriculture (NOA), Egypt took the initiative to host the 1•t SR workshop in the NE region held in Cairo 2-4 November, 1988. The International Development Research Centre (IDRCJ significantly collaborated with NOA, Egypt in holding and sponsering the workshop. FAO-NE Regional office, has supported the workshop as an activity of the NE- SR network. The workshop was planned to coincide with the International Symposium on Constraints and Potentialities of Ruminant Production in the Dry Subtropics, 5-7 November, 1988. A. Aboul-Naga 1 K.EYN"OT.E L.EC:TCJR.E THE ROLE OP SMALL RUKINAN'l'S IN AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES C. R. W. SPEDDING University of leading, England Small ruminants (sheep and goats) are numerous in many developing countries and, indeed, some 94\ of the world's goats are to be found in developing countries. This is not the case for sheep which, for some reason, are frequently found in large flocks. This is easily explained where wool is the primary product (as in Australia, for example) but large meat-producing flocks are also found (in New Zealand and the UK, for example) . In Africa, small ruminants represent 24\ of the total tropical livestock units in Western Africa and 17\ in Eastern Africa (Peacock, 1984). They tend to be found rather more in drier areas and c. 58\ of the sheep and c. 65\ of the goats occur in arid and semi-arid zones of tropical Africa. Their economic contribution is hard to determine, as they are often consumed at home, and this has led to some underestimation of their importance. This may be one reason why they have also often been neglected in research programmes (Knipscheer et al., 1987). Small ruminants are frequently of considerable importance, however, with a whole range of advantages over other, larger livestock. They also have some disadvantages, of course, but the balance appears to be heavily in their favour. The advantages and disadvantages are summarized

  • A Research on Yarn and Fabric Characteristics of Acrylic/Wool/Angora Blends
    (REFEREED RESEARCH) A RESEARCH ON YARN AND FABRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ACRYLIC/WOOL/ANGORA BLENDS AKRİLİK/YÜN/ANGORA LİFİ KARIŞIMLARINDAN ÜRETİLEN İPLİK VE KUMAŞLARIN ÖZELLİKLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA Gamze SÜPÜREN MENGÜÇ * Ege University, Emel Akın Vocational Training School, 35100, Bornova-İzmir, Turkey Received: 05.01.2016 Accepted : 09.03.2016 ABSTRACT Acrylic fibers are one of the most commonly used synthetic fibers and due to its low thermal conductivity, good shape retention and durability properties, they have a large application area in knitted garment industry. Acrylic fibers are also used in blends to benefit from more prominent features of other fibers. Wool with having good wrinkle resistance, moisture absorption and warmth is a good blend material for acrylic. In order to get superior tactile properties, luxury animal fibers can also be used in acrylic blends, despite there are spinning difficulties and production limitations for these fibers. In this study, acrylic fiber and its blends with wool and Angora rabbit fiber were investigated for their yarn and fabric properties. According to the experimental results and the statistical analyses, it was concluded that, blending acrylic fiber with wool and Angora rabbit fiber, increases the CVm, thin/thick places and neps of the yarn. Yarns containing 100% acrylic and 70% acrylic/10% wool/20% angora have the highest tensile strength. In case of yarn friction coefficients, 70% acrylic /20% wool /10% angora containing yarn has the highest coefficient of yarn to pin and yarn to yarn friction values. However, 70% acrylic/30% angora and 100% acrylic yarns have lower values, supplying smoother yarn surface.

  • Pashmina Shawls
    Pashmina Shawls March 27, 2021 About Pashmina Shawls In 2019, the Bureau of India Standards (BIS) published an Indian standard for identification, marking and labelling the Pashmina Shawls for its purity. Pashmina Shawls are a fine variant of shawls spun from cashmere wools. A cashmere wool itself is obtained from the Changthangi goat native to the high plateau of Ladakh. Pashmina Shawls status symbol not just for the wealthy in Indian but even across the world, known for its soft features, The shawl made up of pashmina wool was promoted as an alternative to Shahtoosh shawl. Shahtoosh Shawls is made from the Tibetan Antelope. Due to demand for Shahtoosh, the shawl had wiped out 90% of the Tibetan Antelope. To preserve what population is left, other alternatives, like the pashmina shawl, are being considered. History of Pashmina Shawls Pashmina shawls gained much prominence in the days of the Mughal Empire as objects of rank and nobility. Babur first established the practice of giving khilat – giving ‘robes of honour’ – in 1526 to members of his court for their devoted service, high achievements or as a mark of royal favour, made of Pashmina wool. Upon the complete conquest of Kashmir in 1568 by Akbar, a pair of pashmina shawls were an integral part of a khilat ceremony. Pashmina Pashmina is a fine type of cashmere wool. The wool comes from a number of different breeds of the cashmere goat; such as the changthangi or Kashmir pashmina goat from the Changthang Plateau in Tibet and part of the Ladakh region and few parts of Himachal Pradesh.

  • Why Pashmina Goat Produces Long Hair-Fiber and Barbari Doesn’T: a Differential Gene Expression Study
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 5 March 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202103.0187.v1 Why Pashmina Goat Produces Long Hair-fiber and Barbari doesn’t: A Differential Gene Expression Study Rashid Saif 1, 2, Tania Mahmood2, Aniqa Ejaz2, Saeeda Zia3 1 Institute of Biotechnology, Gulab Devi Educational Complex, Lahore, Pakistan 2 Decode Genomics, Punjab University Employees Housing Scheme (II), Lahore, Pakistan 3 Department of Sciences and Humanities, National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The Pashmina and Barbari are two famous goat breeds found in the wide areas of the Indo-Pak region. Pashmina is famous for its long hair-fiber (Cashmere) production while Barbari is not-selected for this trait. So, the mRNA expression profiling in the skin samples of both breeds would be an attractive and judicious approach for detecting putative genes involved in this valued trait. Here, we performed differential gene expression analysis on publicly available RNA-Seq data from both breeds. Out of 44,617,994 filtered reads of Pashmina and 55,995,999 of Barbari which are 76.48% and 73.69% mapped to the ARS1 reference transcriptome assembly respectively. A Pairwise comparison of both breeds resulted in 47,159 normalized expressed transcripts while 8,414 transcripts are differentially expressed above the significant threshold. Among these, 4,788 are upregulated in Pashmina while 3,626 transcripts are upregulated in Barbari. Fifty-nine transcripts harbor 57 genes including 32 LOC genes and 24 are annotated genes which were selected on the basis of TMM counts > 500.

  • Sea Urchin Design by Susanna IC
    Sea Urchin Design by Susanna IC The Sea Urchin hat derives its name from the interesting starburst design formed at the top which is so reminiscent of the sea creature’s shell. This hat was designed specifically for Noro yarns; however, the overall zigzag pattern created by a simple stitch will make most of any self-striping yarn of similar weight. This easy to memorize and quick to knit one row chevron lace in combination with a dramatically colored yarn makes the Sea Urchin a perfect last minute project for giving or keeping. The lace pattern is stretchy and will accommodate a large range of adult sizes; however, it can also be easily scaled down for a child by using a lighter weight yarn with appropriate needles. Finished Size: 19” to 23” Yarn: Noro Kureyon, Silk Garden or Cashmere Island; the original was knitted with a little more than one skein of Silk Garden #252, approximately 20 yards were from a second skein (45% silk, 45% kid mohair, 10% lamb’s wool; 110 yards / 50 grams) Gauge: 10 sts / 12 rows = 1½” in 3x4 rib pattern knit circularly using smaller needles (not stretched) Needles: Size 5 / 3.75 mm and size 7 / 4.50 mm circular needles or sets of double pointed needles Notions: Stitch marker Ribbing With smaller needles cast on 105 stitches; place marker and join for knitting in the round, being careful not to twist stitches.

  • Pashmina Wool–A Valuable Commodity
    International Journal of Avian & Wildlife Biology Mini Review Open Access Pashmina wool–a valuable commodity Abstract Volume 3 Issue 6 - 2018 The conversion of goat hair into Pashmina was investigated. Pashmina is obtained Herbert W Ockerman from the Changthangi goats found in the Himalayan regions. The nomadic herders and The Ohio State University, USA animals that live in these regions have to adapt to harsh environments. The Pashmina goats play an important role in the livelihoods of the nomadic herders. Correspondence: Herbert W Ockerman, The Ohio State University, Ohio, USA, Email Keywords: changthangi, pashmina, goat, cashmere, himalayas, ladakh Received: November 01, 2018 | Published: November 16, 2018 Introduction The study investigated the ethnozoological aspects of agriculture in hostile environments and the production of the finest wool in the world. Changthangi or Pashmina goats can tolerate high altitude and the harsh environment of the Himalayan desert by growing an undercoat of fine hair which serves as insulation to keep them warm. This is the origin of pashmina wool. The research showed that the animals found in these regions such as yak, sheep and goats play a critical role in allowing humans to exist in a harsh environment. The elevation of these regions is upwards of 4,350 m (14,270 ft.) which causes a lack of oxygen, cold temperatures ranging from –20°C (–4°F) to –40°C (–40°F), strong winds, meager rainfall and lack of vegetation. This report will focus on the domestic Changthangi (or Pashmina) breed which produces wool that is known for its firmness, warmth, durability, lightness, softness and ability to Figure 2 Pashmina goat, sheep and yak herding.

Acrylic fabric is favored for a variety of reasons very soft and comfortable, and is often made in a stretch quality. it is warm, quite soft, holds color well, is both stain and wrinkle resistant and it doesn’t itch. These qualities make acrylic a great BLEND substitute for wool. A blend fabric or yarn is made up of more than one fibre. In the yarn, two or more different types of fibres are used to form the yarn.

    Care guide cashemere, wool, silk, cotton, linen, viscose acétate, polyester, mohair, leather, angora.. MAINTENANCE TIPS ba&sh recommends you follow these tips and to preserve the original look of your items. Each type of product requires special care; details are provided on the product’s care label. We recommend you follow the ins- tructions on the care label for optimal maintenance of your ba&sh items. PRÉPARATION••••••• Firstly, sorting colours is essential. Whites should be separated from co- lours, and pastels separated from darker colours, in order to avoid greying whites and dark stains bleeding onto lighter colours. Next, we recommend sorting clothes according to their washing tempera- ture, as indicated on their composition label. You can group together so-called delicate items (lace, silk, micro fibre ...) to wash then together. For some items, we recommend turning them over. This is essential for: velvets, items with prints, embroidery, transfers, fantasy knitwear, all pre- washed fabrics such as jeans. More generally, this technique is recom- mended to protect garments from fading, felting, wear or pilling for deli- cate materials. It can therefore be applied to all clothing. For delicate materials, the garment can be put in a cotton bag for washing, or a washing bag to protect it. Dry cleaning is recommended for padded garments (coats or jackets). Dry cleaning is more appropriate for this type of garment. More generally, dry cleaning is recommended for delicate materials and/or items. If you purchased coordinates, try to wash them together to limit colour differences. WASHING••••••• For the first few washes of your new clothes, we recommend you wash them separately to prevent any dye-bleeding.
