Animal Fiber working group

A European working group, composed by research experts on the subject known as animal fibre science, has started to work from 2007 under the name of “Animal Fibre working group”. This EAAP working group of international experts work on key issues such as biology,  genetic/ genomic, nutrition, fibre assessment technology, quality and physical properties of animal fibres and their processing products, animal husbandry, animal welfare and economic/societal impacts related to Animal fibre and animal tegument production.

The aim of the group is to create a network of investigation and organize meetings to facilitate the interchange of information and progress on different themes related to biology and economy of Animal fibre science and animal tegument production, as well to encourage the dissemination of this knowledge.

The core group of Animal Fibre WG is composed as following:
