Leather Quality of Kabashi Desert Sheep (original) (raw)

2015

Abstract

This trail was designed to study two subtypes of Kabashi desert sheep leather properties in relation to breed, age and sex. Five (5) pieces of fresh skins of each of rums, lambs and ewes from two subtypes (Kabashi and Hamari) of Sudan desert sheep were collected randomly from Elobaied leather Market at north Kordofan state, Sudan. Tanning and laboratory work was done in the National Leather Technology Centre, Khartoum, Sudan. The study data were analysed using the Complete Randomized Design (CRD). The results revealed that, lamb’s skin produced significantly (p ≥ 0.05) better quality leather than rum’s and ewe’s skins in elongation %, tensile strength (kg/cm2), cracking load (kg), thickness (mm), tear load (kg/cm), flexibility and moisture%. While it yielded leather with the same characteristics to rum’s and ewe’s leather in Ash%, fat % and chrome%. Leather properties; elongation %, tensile strength (kg/cm2), cracking load (kg), tear load (kg/cm), flexibility and Ash%; were signific...
