Slow production of and limited land availability for ruminant animals, high feed cost and disease threats, including bird flu, in poultry production caused a significant raise of rabbit farming in Asia, and particularly in many areas in Asean countries. A drastic increase of rabbit farming and number of farmers occurred in Asia especially in China. Most of farms operations are small in scale and fed primarily on forage and by product feeds.

  • Breeding and Processing of Wool Specially Hair Fibres: Evaluation of Animal Fibers for Use in Textile Products
    The International Journal of Indian Psychology ISSN 2348-5396 (e) | ISSN: 2349-3429 (p) Volume 7, Issue 4, DIP: 18.01.016/20190704 DOI: 10.25215/0704.016 http://www.ijip.in | October- December, 2019 Research Paper Breeding and processing of wool specially hair fibres: evaluation of animal fibers for use in textile products Nandita Maisnam1* ABSTRACT Textile products are composed of a range of materials and fibers. The natural protein fibers that are currently used in textile production such as wool, mohair, and silk can be very costly to the manufacturer and consumer. A non-traditional protein animal fiber, such as dog hair, can prove to be a cheaper, environmentally friendly, and very suitable substitute for the traditional protein fibers used today in textile processing. The use of this abundant protein fiber is very possibly a promising new avenue for the textile industry. Results show it would be reasonable to consider dog fiber as a possibility for conversion into staple yarns. With strength, percent strain, and modulus, as a basis, dog fibers would perform equally as well as traditionally used animal fibers, and possibly better in certain instances. Keywords: Wool, Fiber, Animal Fiber, Mohair, Yarns, Garment Fibre has been of great importance to man and rank second only to food in their usefulness. Animal fibres are largely those which cover mammals such as sheep, goats and rabbits, but also include cocoon of the silk-worm as well as feather from poultry. Globally natural Fibres contribute about 48% to the fibre basket with 38% from cotton, 8% from bast and allied fibres and 2% from wool and silk fibres.

It is most luxurious, softer and warmer than superfine merino wool. The word pashmina is originated from a word ‘pashm’ means ‘soft gold’ in local language, and ‘wool’ in Persian language. India produces about 40-50 tonnes of fibre annually. The fibre is mostly used for preparing shawls with intricate designs by the artisans of Srinagar. An attempt has been made to provide comprehensive review covering production, processing and utilization aspects of pashmina fibre. Keywords: Cashmere, Dehairing, Fibre, Pashmina, Shawl, Wool 1 Introduction these countries, Australia, Britain and New Zealand Speciality animal fibres have special attributes of also produce this cashmere fibre.
