The physical-mechanic industry characteristics of 22 crossed goat leathers from native does mated with Anglo Nubian (AG) and Boer (BO) bucks were studied to evaluate the leather quality by analysis of tension and tear resistance. Animals were slaughtered at average of 260 days of age and 22.0 kg of live body weigth. After skinning, the pelts were weighed, conserved in brine and salted and classified by quality before the chromium-tanned. To evaluate the tension and tear resistance assays, from the […]
