The testing of the pelt qualities was carried out at the breed farm of TES "Maximovca" during the years 2015-2018 depending on the color of the lambs - black, grey and sur. It was determined that the share of ewe lambs constituted 31.1% in the reference period, the I- st class was 59.3%, and the II-nd and rebut, respectively, 8.8 and 0.8%. These lambs have the desired loop types such as 38.4% flat type, 33.3% jacket type, 24.2% costal type. The evaluation of silk has shown that it is veridical greater at grey lambs compared to black lambs and is 7.84 ± 0.13 points (P> 0.001). Likewise, lambs of the sur color veridical exceed the black ones, making 7.64 ± 0.07 points (P> 0.001). Black lambs gained 6.99 ± 0.13 points. The gloss of the furring cover at grey lambs veridical exceeds the gloss of black and sur lambs constituing of 7.78 ± 0.14 points (P> 0.001), and those sur and black respectively 7.3 ± 0.11 and 7.2 ± 0.13 points.enCC BY-NC-SA 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/lambsgreysurblacksilkglossArticle2821 - 6644
