Abstract :The aim of this study was to investigate the possible changes in the skin structure of F1 and B1 cross-breeds, which were obtained by crossing Lincoln Longwools with Konya Merinos. The skin of five animals from each genotype group was used in this study. Over a period of five years and in each season, biopsy samples of various body regions insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(neck, flank and hip); were obtained. The results of this investigation can be summarized as follows. When compared with their pure lines, the raw skin characteristics of F1 and B1 cross-breeds were found to be superior. However, wool production in F1 and B1 breeds was lower than that in Konya Merinos.
