Fiber density and hair ducts in the skin of alpacas: Quantification,heritability, and genetic correlations

Abstract Alpaca fibers are used to create luxury garments, and simultaneous selection for optimizing fiber density and the density of hair ducts in the skin of alpacas could result in a more profitable product for breeders. The objective of this study was i) to quantify fiber density (FibDen), density of hair ducts (DenDuc), and the [...]
