Abstract
A study on skin follicles and its relationship with wool characteristics of Nilgiri, Merino and its
crosses was carried out. Statistical analysis revealed a highly significant (P<0.01) negative correlation
between S/P ratio and fibre diameter in Nilgiri and Merino, but Nilgiri X Merino had a non-significant
negative correlation. A highly significant (P<0.01) positive correlation was found between 5/ P ratio
and fibre length and crimp. In Nilgiri, the total number of follicles had a non~significant negative
correlation with fibre diameter, a highly significant (P<0.01) positive correlation with crimp.
