Wool Technology and Sheep Breeding (WTSB)
Journal Descriptions
Wool Technology and Sheep Breeding is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) system, focusing on research related to sheep production, wool science, and small ruminant management. The journal serves as an important platform for disseminating research findings in the areas of genetics, breeding, nutrition, health management, reproduction, and fiber technology of sheep. It emphasizes applied and experimental research that supports improvement in wool quality, sheep productivity, and sustainable livestock farming systems, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. The journal publishes original research articles, short communications, and review papers contributed by scientists, veterinarians, and agricultural researchers. A significant focus is placed on wool characteristics such as fiber diameter, length, strength, and processing techniques that enhance industrial value. It also covers advancements in breeding strategies, disease control, pasture management, and adaptation of sheep breeds to diverse climatic conditions. Wool Technology and Sheep Breeding plays a key role in bridging laboratory research with field-level livestock practices in India and other sheep-rearing regions. It is widely referenced in agricultural universities, veterinary institutes, and animal science research centers for improving sheep-based rural livelihoods and wool industry development.
