WHY ANALYSE YOUR FIBRE ?

The fiber analysis is an essential tool for you to monitor your breeding program.

It is an objective tool to monitor changes in the individual characteristics of your animal.

It is useful to recall that the tests are appropriate for your livestock.

Indeed the fibre varies enormously depending on:

• genetic characteristics

• Food and nutrient intake

• Health of Animals

When should I take the sample ?

2 possibilities :

you can take the sample during shearing

But, you can take the sample before shearing.

In this case, you are sure to take the sample in the right place and it lets you know your results before shearing, so you sort fleeces according to their fineness.

How much is needed for analysis ?

For each animal, take about a handful of fibre — roughly 5 cm across.

It may be interesting to take two samples. By this way, in case of problems or if you want to retest a fleece, you have a backup.

Where should I take my sample of fibre ?

Make sure you take the sample as close to the skin as possible.
Place each sample in an unsealed, unstapled paper envelope (no plastic).
Clearly write the name or number of the animal on the envelope.

IMPORTANT: Samples must be dry. Moisture can significantly distort the results.

Shipping instructions:

Clearly identify each envelope with the animal’s name and list number.
Group all envelopes, arranged in the order of your list, in the same parcel.
