Prospects for the development of down goat breeding in the republic of Kazakhstan

Currently, in the Agrarian Programs of the state, due attention is not paid to the goat breeding industry. Meanwhile, support for downy goat breeding predetermines good prospects for the growth of export opportunities in Kazakhstan and the development of the country's light industry. The article presents data on the current state of the goat population. It has been shown that goat down from Kazakh genotypes corresponds to the fineness of Kashmir goats, which means that it is of high value and has every reason to increase its production within the country

Evaluation of the technological properties of down based on the technology of dying the down of goats of coarse-haired, down and wool breeds

The article is devoted to the study and assessment of the technological properties of down based on the technology of dyeing down from goat wool from various genotypes of goats of the republic. The dyeing was carried out under laboratory conditions with Italian dyes. The dependence of the color intensity for downy fibers is described by polynomial equations of the second and third degree. It has been shown that goat down fibers have good dyeing ability, dyeing uniformity and show good dyeing performance in standard modes
