Effect of Rumen Source (Cattle, Sheep and Goat) on the Quality of Rumen Leather
Keywords:
Ruminant, Rumen, Leather, Quality
Abstract
This study was carried out to examine the effect of ruminant species on the quality of rumen leather produced. The rumen of cattle, sheep and goats were subjected to leather processing operations i.e. cleaning, liming, de-liming, degreasing, fleshing, drenching, pickling tanning, basification, aging, re-tanning, neutralization and fat liquoring. Mechanical operations like fixing, staking and toggling were also carried out. Each treatment was replicated five (5) times. The physical tests that were carried out on the leather include; thickness(mm), tensile strength(N/m2), percentage elongation (%), ball burst test(mm), shrinkage temperature (OC), stitch tear(kg/cm), permeability to water vapour (mg/cm3/hr) and apparent density(g/cm3). The data obtained were analyzed using General Linear Model of Statistical Analysis Systems while the mean separation was done using Duncan’s Multiple Range tests (DMRT). The results showed that, thickness, tensile strength, percentage elongation, stitch and tear, ball burst test, shrinkage temperature, apparent density and water permeability were significantly affected (p<0.05) by specie variation but no significant difference (P>0.05) was seen on the apparent density(g/cm3) of the rumen leather. It was shown that cattle rumen was significantly superior for most parameters measured, implying that it has better quality.
