RESULTS OF THE STUDY DEMONSTRATING THE DISTINCT QUALITY PROPERTIES OF MONGOLIAN CASHMERE FROM LOCAL BREEDS OF GOATS BRED ON FREE RANGELANDS
2022-02-05
The research study was carried out in 2021 to determine the specific quality properties of cashmere of Mongolian local breeds of goats. The research covered 122 herder households from 13 soums of 8 aimags. A total of 4560 samples were collected from 1522 goats representing the main factors determining cashmere quality: ecological habitat, various herd management practices, local breeds, age and sex of goats, and cashmere colour. Cashmere fibre diameter (FD), fibre curvature (FC), and coefficient of variation of fibre diameter (CVFD) were tested in 1,522 samples, and cashmere length was tested in 1,387 samples.

seasonal migrations of herder families and herds, have increased the pressure on
rangelands and accelerated damages

There are two types of glaciers on our planet: continental or Antarctica, Greenland, and mountain or alpine. There are only mountain glaciers in Mongolia
