This paper focuses on the analysis of goats leather to identify the physical and mechanical characteristics after toning. Sixteen male crossbred Alpine goats, with four animals from 180 days old by slaughter, were used. Slaughter intervals of 45 days were used. The skins were tanned and re-tanned, and from the breather the proofs from the dorsal, palette, ventral, hind and lateral regions, were taken, in the following directions: parallel and perpendicular to the tail-skull axis, so that the physic-mechanic studies […]
