Why should I measure my wool?

Objective test information allows processors of Australian wool to better predict the processing capabilities of the wool.

Processing trials conducted over many years have established relationships which allow the Yield, Diameter and Fibre Length (Hauteur) of the processed product to be predicted from the objective measurements of Yield, Vegetable Matter, Mean Fibre Diameter and Staple Length & Strength taken on greasy wool.

Objective measurement also enables growers to receive equitable payment for their wool and provides important management information to woolgrowers.
