    abstract = {The aim of this study is to investigate some physical characteristics of coarse fibre in Norduz goat which is a local breed of Eastern Anatolia in Turkey. Fibres are  sampled  from  shoulder,  thigh  and  back of 48 female Norduz goat between 1-4 years-old. Fibre length and diameters do not vary significantly according to age and part of body. Fibres obtained from 3 years-old goats are thickest (74.4±6.20 µm) while these from goats one year-old were found thinnest as 53.7±2.93 (p<0.05) µm. Breaking strength value is found higher in 3 years-old goats when comparing with 1 year-old goats (18.7±0.38 vs 17.2±0.27) (p<0.05). Fibre diameter and length is negatively correlated (-0.77) (p<0.05) in 3 years-old goats. The diameter and the breaking strength of fibres sampled from back are highly correlated (0.94) (p<0.01) in 4 years-old goats. In addition, elongation rate is  positively  correlated  with  breaking  strength  (0.88)  and  diameter  (0.95) for fibres sampled from back of 4 years-old goats (p<0.01).}
