Application of Chicken Feather in Textiles

Abstract

Chicken feathers are a valuable source of biomaterials that can be used in a variety of industries. In recent years, chicken feathers have found their way into everything. It is important to note that the exact chemical composition of the chicken feather can vary depending on factors such as the age and health of the bird, diet, genetics, and environmental conditions. Chicken feather fractions have potential applications as textile fibres for yarns, fabrics, and composites. This paper summarizes the chemical composition and biodegradability of chicken feather fibres and discusses their potential applications.
