The last 4 groups were fed 70% of ARC requirements. Concentrate diet consisted of 50% GNC treated or untreated, 40% maize and 10% wheat bran along with minerals and vitamins. Roughage used was wheat straw during the first 7 mo. (phase 1) and urea-molasses-impregnated wheat straw during the next 6 mo. (phase 2). There was a significant increase in wool yield in formaldehyde-treated group during the experimental shearing in both the phases. Wool production increased by 26, 9, 36 and 12% during 13 mo. of study in untreated group 1, and tannic-acid-, formaldehyde- and heat-treated groups, respectively, than in the control group 2. There was a marked effect of formaldehyde treatment on wool growth. There was significant decrease in crimps in tannic- and heat-treated groups during phase 1. Medullation percentage was higher in formaldehyde- and heat-treated groups. No effect of treatment on staple length, fiber diameter and yellowing of wool was observed.  aSheep  aWool  aAlimento para animal  aAmendoim  aBagaço  aLã  aNutrição animal  aOvino  aQualidade  aRendimento1 aRANJHAN, S.
