) and Ash %] were significantly (P ≥0.05) affected by breed variation. Elongation %, tensile strength (kg cm -2 ), thickness (mm), moisture %, fat %, flexibility and chrome % were not significantly (P ≥0.05) affected by goats breed.

“…In a study on Sudan desert goatskin, elongation at break, tensile strength, and flexibility degree values were 58.3%, 194.4 kg/cm 2 , and 3.3 in the male goatskin, respectively. However, the same values were 61.8%, 159.1 kg/cm 2 , and 2.1 in female goats, respectively (Ebrahiem, 2016). These physical properties were associated with the non-homogeneous distribution of the collagen structure in the skin (Maxwell, 2007).…”
