Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Angora Goat Raising: With a Chapter on Milch Goats The remarkable development of the Angora and mohair industry in this country during the last three years and the widespread demand for definite and reliable information concerning the breeding and raising of this class of goats and the production of mohair, emphasized by more than one hundred thousand letters of inquiry, a large number of which have come directly to the office of the American Sheep Breeder, have made apparent the desirability of and necessity for a manual or hand-book concise and cheap enough to be within the reach of all, and yet comprehensive enough to meet the wants of new beginners as well as veteran breeders. To meet this demand we are pleased to present this volume - "Angora Goat Raising and Milch Goats." The author, Prof. Geo. F. Thompson, the distinguished editor of the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry, is the recognized authority in this country upon the subjects herein treated. The book is the result of years of painstaking study and research, and we offer it to the American public in the belief that it will meet a warm welcome and subserve the purpose for which the gifted author prepared it. The industries treated in these pages are yet in their infancy and manifestly have a great future. The demand for Angoras and mohair is far in excess of the supply and likely to remain so for many a year to come. We have many millions of acres of rough mountain, hill and brush land eminently suited to the goat industry, but unsuited to any other domestic use, that may be profitably devoted to the raising of Angoras and mohair, and until these are utilized, the mission of this book will not be wholly fulfilled. Coincident and coextensive with the Angora movement is a general awakening of interest in milch goats, especially in the towns and cities and among the leading physicians, hospitals and sanitariums. Our author gives an admirable summary of up-to-date information upon this subject, which we are sure will be received with marked approval.

Download or read book Angora Goat written by Ralph Hooks and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-07-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first breeds of goats, angloramas are distinguished by their opulent mohair. The breed is named for the Central Turkish province of Ankara, which was formerly known as Angora, and is thought to be their birthplace. Goats of the Angora kind have a long history; evidence points to domestication as early as 1571 BCE. The Turkish people held goats in great regard, especially under the Ottoman Empire, when goat hair rose in value and was traded extensively throughout Europe and Asia. Mohair's brilliance, resilience, and exceptional dye-ability made it a sought-after fabric for textiles and clothing. The Ottoman Empire maintained its economic monopoly by strictly regulating the export of Angora goats and their fibres during the 16th and 17th centuries. But the deliberate dispersal of Angora goats started in the 1800s. The goats were successfully introduced outside of Turkey for the first time in South Africa in 1838, where they flourished due to the semi-arid climate of the Karoo region. This was the catalyst for the development of South Africa's mohair industry, which is now among the biggest in the world. Around the same time, and with their first known importation in 1849, Angora goats were brought to the United States to enhance the agricultural diversity of the Southern states. Texas, which is still a top producer of mohair today, benefited greatly from this introduction, which helped build a strong mohair industry there. Angora goats are a breed that has expanded over the world and has adapted to a variety of climates and situations, but they still need special handling and care to keep their health and fleece quality intact. Features and Standards for the Breed An easy way to identify an Angora goat is by its characteristic long, curly fleece. This mohair fleece is not the same as the wool that sheep generate. Mohair has a silky smoothness and amazing sheen because of its firmly organised, fine threads. This feature makes it quite practical as well as aesthetically pleasing because mohair is well-known for its outstanding insulating qualities, weightlessness, and resistance to shrinking and wrinkling. In general, angora goats are smaller-framed than many other types of goats. Mature females normally weigh between 80 and 110 pounds, while mature male bucks often weigh between 125 and 175 pounds. Despite their small stature, Angora goats have sturdy bones that enable them to carry their weight. Their coats can be bright white or varying colours of red, black, or brown; nevertheless, because white is so versatile in terms of dyeing, it has historically been the most commercially sought-after colour. An important feature of Angora goats is how much fleece they can produce. Sheared twice a year, an ordinary Angora goat can produce between 10 and 16 pounds of mohair yearly. At a rate of one inch per month on average, the fleece grows continually. But this lush growth means that regular shearing and careful attention to detail are required to keep the goats from overheating or becoming uncomfortable from tangled or soiled fleece. Goat breed standards for Angoras emphasise conformation and fleece quality.
