Study of Micrometry of Dog Hair of Different Breeds
Keywords:
Micrometry, Morphology, hair follicle.Abstract
Dogs which belongs to different climatic conditions, different breeds or genetic makeup they have different structure of hair which is related to its thickness and length and other morphological characteristics. Following data is useful for the easy identification of dog breeds form the single hair follicle. Every breed has different characters with respected to its hair these different characters are related to its thickness of hair, size of medulla, size of cortex. These study is helpful for forensic investigations, in some situations of crime scenes forensic team get animal hair through these hair follicle they can detect the dog breed which is provide good clue for crime cases. In both micrometric & histological study of hair of different dog breeds it results particular identities for every dog breed and these identities will be greatly helpful for identification of different dog breed through the single hair follicle of dog.
