Д. Чебодаев, А. АжибековFine Sheep Wool Quality Improvement. Recommendations for Farmers (in Russian)
The booklet is about improvement of the breeding and productivity traits in Kyrgyz mountain Merino sheep breed. It gives the background information about the mentioned breed. Then major factors affecting the wool quality such as sheep feeding and husbandry conditions as well as systematic breeding work are discussed in the booklet. Major traits of sheep wool including fiber length, fiber fineness, crimp, solidity, extensibility, elasticity, color, luster, and grease are also described in the booklet to explain how they contribute to the overall sheep wool quality.

Икромов Ф., Давлаткадамов К., Давлатов Х., Институт животноводства ТАСХН, Барбара Рачковская, Л. Брент, ИКАРДАPrepared for publication: “Productivity Traits of the Pamiri Crossbred Goats Using the Altay Cashmere Breed of Goats Imported from Russia”. Ikromov F., Davlatqadamov Q., L. Brent, B. Rischkowsky, ICARDA. Reports of TAAS, 2013 (in Russian).
The article provides review of breeding activities conducted within the IFAD/ICARDA fiber project in the Badakhshan autonomous province of Tajikistan. According to recent data, the participating farmers managed to obtain 465 Altay crossbred kids from imported Altay bucks in 2013 being the maximal progeny for last three years, 2011-2013. The article provides a comparative analysis of major productivity indicators of parent Altay bucks and their progeny born in 2011 and 2012. It concludes that rural livelihoods can be improved and sustained through improved breeding in fiber producing goats and involving women to fiber processing.

Introduction provides general information about importance of goats for livelihoods and geographic distribution of various goat breeds (incl. mohair, cashmere, dairy and local Tajik breeds) in the world. Introduction also specifies methods of age identification according to teeth of an animal and measuring of the live weight in home condition.
Chapter “How to select goats?” explains that such traits as exterior of an animal, productivity indicators of parent goats are used to select the best goats. Chapter “Goat feeding and husbandry conditions” describes the best way of organizing stalls for goats including the appropriate construction materials. The following chapters further provide information on goat feeding rations taking into account goats’ productivity and age, major forage types, mating and kidding of goats, main husbandry practices, and disease prevention and treatment of goats.
