Abstract
Sheep produce 13 types of products, one of which is wool. For centuries, it has been used by humans to preserve health and well-being. Russia ranks 9th in the world in terms of wool production. In 2023, Russia produced 2.6% of the world’s wool. Compared with the beginning of the 90s of the twentieth century, there have been significant shifts in the structure of Russian sheep breeding towards a decrease in the share of finewool breeds in the total number of sheep. The main experiments on crossing queens of Russian breeds with sheep of foreign breeding in order to increase wool productivity are conducted according to the main indicators of productivity of shearing, strength, tortuosity and other indicators.
