Abstract
THE considerable sulphur content of clean wool, and its presence substantially in the form of a cystine nucleus, has led to much inquiry into the question of cystine being a limiting factor in wool growth. Various estimates of the cystine requirement for the fleece production have been made, on the assumption that this is given by the quantity of cystine recoverable in the wool.
