Abstract: Priangan sheep is a
native sheep of Indonesia and considered as a hair sheep. Its main product is
meat. Recently, the Priangan sheep is crossed with a Merino sheep to produce
the Priangan-Merino crossbred. Since the Merino sheep is considered as a wool
sheep, it is expected that the Priangan-Merino sheep will have a better quality
of wool than the Priangan sheep. To measure the wool improvement of the
Priangan-Merino crossbred, an experiment was conducted. Fifteen Priangan sheeps
and 15 Merino crossbreds were used in this experiment. The spinning count and
wool yarn staple length were measured. The experimental statistics and the
design of the experiment was completely ramdomized design. The results indicated
that staple strength of wool yarn of Priangan was not significantly different
with that of Merino cross. Spinning count was significantly different (P <
0.01) between breed.
