The chemicala being teated interrupt cell growth in the bulb of each wool fiber, causing, a ringllke conttriction. The con striction moves up from the bulb of each wool fiber as it grows and in 6 to 7 days, reach* es a position Just below the skin surface. At that point, the fiber breaks easily, and the whole fleece can be separated at the skinline, leaving the sheep completely bare. An operator grabbing a handful of wool and rolling his wrist along the skin can de fleece a sheep quickly and sys* tematically without strain on himself, discomfort to the sheep, or wastage of wool Ease of removal in fact, is the main advantage of chemical defleecing. Shearing with clipp ers is a highly skilled task, call ing for wages of about $l2 per hour at Beltsville, Md., where the ARS trials are being Con ducted. By contrast, a non-spec ialist drawing about $2.50 per hour can quickly learn to re move fleeces from sheep treat ed chemically. In addition, defleecing, unlike shearing, does not leave nicks and cuts on the skin. Although sheep seemed unaffected by the complete lack of fleece, precau tions were taken to keep sheep out of extreme weather after de fleecing. Wool has grown back normally on sheep defleeced since the trials began The most recent trial showed that defleec ing can be delayed beyond the minimum of 6 to 7 days after chemical treatment so that a short growth of new wool forms below the constriction point of the wool fibers The fleece se parates as easily as before but the new coat does away with the possibility of having to pro tect sheep from extreme weath er after defleecing Compounds tested for defleec ing by ARS biologist E.
