Résumé : |
Melatonin is a natural hormone that initiates autumn moult and the growth of winter fur. It is possible to induce an early moult of winter coat, several weeks earlier, with one 12-mg implant of synthetic melatonin. In this work, possible melatonin-induced effects on skin and leather properties of blue fox were investigated. The samples formed two groups: one control group and one melatonin group. Physical properties such as tensile strength and tearing energy were determined for the leather samples in aluminum-tanned state. The results showed good quality for both groups. The figures obtained for the chemical characteristics of i) shrinkage temperature and ii) fixing of tannin were also comparable with those typical of normal production. All the figures give new useful information on the properties of blue-fox skin and leather and are sufficiently useful to justify their inclusion in a database. |
