In 3 districts of Uzbekistan Lincoln or Merino rams were used on indigenous fat-rumped ewes. The fineness of the down fibres of the Merino crossbreds was not appreciably different from that of the fat-rumped sheep; it was finer than in those of the Merinos. The down fibres of the Lincoln crossbreds were less fine than those of the fat-rumped sheep or of the Merino crossbreds. The kemp and heterotype fibres of the crossbreds were finer than those of the fat-rumped sheep.
