Abstract
SUMMARY Differences between Sahiwals and Jerseys and between summer and winter in the quantities of lipids on the skin surface and on hair were studied. Sahiwals had significantly greater quantities of lipids on both the skin surface and hair in summer and in winter. In both breeds, there were significantly greater amounts of lipids on the skin surface and on hair in winter. In both breeds a significantly greater quantity of lipids was present on hair than on skin in winter but not in summer. Jerseys had greater weight of hair/unit area of skin than Sahiwals in both summer and winter. There was no significant correlation between the amount of lipids on hair and the weight of hair.
