ISSUES OF INNOVATIVE PERFECTION OF WOOL SHAVING IN GEORGIAN SHEEP BREEDING

Summary 

The paper shows that sheep shearing is a very difficult and responsible activity. Proper care is not given to mastering shaving skills. In Georgian sheep breeding, sheep shearing is carried out with less organization, poor quality, damage to sheep and large losses of wool. This is due to the fact that shaving uses unsuitable shaving rules and unsatisfactory technology.

Innovative conditions for making quality wool are less observed in our sheep shearing system; Proper attention is not paid to mastering shaving skills. It ends up at the undesirable level of equipment and labor organization. Wool quality deteriorates during shaving. There is wool corrosion-dirt, waste and many more. There are large cases of damage to sheep, wounds, trauma, mutilation and death. Rough shaving causes a large loss of wool, increasing labor demand and shaving costs. The paper shows that the existing rule of sheep shearing can be radically changed from an innovative point of view. Wool shaving should be produced at a technically high level and in an organized manner, it should be economically viable, in this regard a great help can be given to the introduction of an innovative, progressive method of shaving, which is known as the fast method of shaving.
