TYPIFICATION OF COLOURING OF KARAKUL LAMBS "SUR" ON THE BASIS OF PHENETIC CLASSIFICATION
The aim of this research is to identify typical errors of traditional valuation that based generally on an organoleptic assessment while determining coloring of the karakul lambs sur, which is the objective method of phenetic classification that is considered as an important for genetic-selection research. The method of research is distribution of melanin of woolen fibers of 2-3 day of karakul lambs that are investigated by a light of microscopy, and the content of melanin is researched by the EPR spectrometric method. The difference between the data samples received by objective methods indicates a lack of full similarities of them. Objective methods can give the opportunity to reveal insignificant distinctions, and to enter system of classifications. Application of results of research in selection will allow using richness of color of the karakul lambs for the solving of the fundamental problems of genetics of coloring.
