Extract

The main source of skin surface protein is sweat glands. Studies on skin surface proteins of domestic animals have been made by Joshi etal. (1968), Jenkinson, Lloyd & Mabon (1976, 1979), Lloyd, Mabon & Jenkinson (1977) and Rai, More & Singh (1982). However, information on sweat proteins (skin surface proteins) of goats is lacking. The present study is an effort to characterize sweat proteins of goats and to compare them with those of sheep.
