Shearing Sheep With Chemicals
No Nicks, No CuU, No Shills
Nothing look! quite a> naked
at a chemically defleeced
abeep, but this rarity may be*
come common if preliminary
teita pan out.
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. H. Dol
nick and co-workers are new
drugs used in anticancer studies
.Medical scientists at the Nation
al Cancer Institute and Hazleton
Laboratories, found that these
