Abstract
AIURA, A.L.O.; AIURA, F.S. and SILVA, R.G.. Hair coat characteristics of saanen and oberhasli goats in tropical environments. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2010, vol.59, n.228, pp.609-612. ISSN 1885-4494.
The aim of the present work was to study the morphological characteristics of the hair coat, coat thickness (E), hair length (C), number of hair by unit area (N), hair angle to skin (A) and hair diameter (D) of Saanen and Oberhasli goats, measured under the conditions of tropical environment. The observed averages of these traits were: E= 6.04±0.08 mm; C= 33.17±0.24 mm; N= 191.50±4.67 hairs.cm-2; A= the 10.67±0.15 degrees; D= 0.203±0.0013 mm.
