ABSTRACT

Performance of three exotic (Corriedale, Poll Dorset and South Down) and one crossbred (Local
X Corriedale) sheep in respect to greasy fleece yield and quality attributes viz. staple length, crimps
per cm, fiber diameter, and scouring yield (%) were evaluated in a organized farm of Kashmir valley.
The overall mean for the traits were observed as 0.97±0.20 kg, 4.41±0.31cm, 3.00±0.08 per cm,
25.76±0.46μ and 79.41±0.80%, respectively. The investigation showed that Corriedale breed had
performed better than other two exotic breeds.
