一、前言新疆是我国畜牧业的主要基地之一,发展畜牧业的自然条件十分优越。在新疆牲畜组成中,羊占的比例最大,约80％左右。目前全疆90％的羊只是靠手工剪毛,不仅劳动强度大,而且质量低,损失浪费严重。另外新疆牧区地广人稀,劳动力紧张,剪羊毛工作量大,季节性强。因此,实现剪羊毛机械化,是牧业生产中的当务之急。 I. Introduction Xinjiang is one of the major bases of animal husbandry in our country. The natural conditions for the development of animal husbandry are extremely advantageous. Livestock in Xinjiang, the largest share of the sheep, about 80%. At present, 90% of sheep in Xinjiang rely solely on hand-shearing, which not only results in high labor intensity but also low quality and serious loss and wastage. In addition, Xinjiang pastoral sparsely populated, labor shortage, shearing workload, seasonal strong. Therefore, to realize the mechanization of shearing wool is the top priority in animal husbandry.
