Abstract
Wool growth on tattoo patches and mitotic activity in follicle bulbs were studied in a sheep on low and high levels of nutrient intake. The rate of wool growth on the high intake was 156% greater than that on the low intake while the rate of cell production from the follicle bulbs was 56% greater. The remainder of the increase in rate of fibre output was attributed to an increase of about 64 % in the volume of the individual cells of the fibres.
