| Summary: | This study was conducted to determine the mohair quality characteristics of Eskisehir, Lalahan and Siirt variety Angora goats. In the study, mohair samples were taken from the shoulder, rump and rib regions of each Angora goat of Eskisehir, Lalahan and Siirt varieties during the mohair shearing period. A total of 57 samples from 19 heads of Angora goats were analyzed in terms of quality characteristics such as clean weight, dirty weight, yield, length, fineness, elasticity and tenacity. According to the results obtained, the effect of variety and gender on the dirty weight, clean weight and yield variables was statistically significant (P<0.05), while the effect of the region was found to be insignificant (P>0.05). The effect of variety and region on the length variable was found to be statistically significant, while the effect of gender was found to be insignificant. The effect of variety and gender on the fineness variable was found to be statistically significant, while the effect of region was found to be statistically insignificant. The effects of variety, gender and region on the elasticity variable were found to be statistically insignificant. The effect of variety on the tenacity variable was found to be statistically significant, while the effect of gender and region was found to be statistically insignificant. According to the information obtained from this study, variety, region and gender variables have various effects on mohair characteristics. It is thought that these characteristics will contribute to studies on breeding Angora goats and improving mohair quality.
