Estimates of Cortical Differentiation in Normal and "Doggy" Merino Wools

Abstract

Ahmad and Lang (1957) reported a comparison of ortho- and para cortical proportions in normal and "doggy" Merino wools. The doggy samples had been selected by wool appraisers in several Australian States as characteristic examples of wools regarded in their States as markedly doggy. The normal wools with which they were compared were well-crimped wools of Australian origin, not necessarily from the same source as the doggy wools.
