Abstract: Cashmere goats could be further divided into diverse distinction phenotypes,with their characteristics of wool fiber,growth time and color,as long hair and short hair,coarse hair and fine hair,mosaic type,curvature cashmere morphology and natural cashmere morphology,perennial and seasonal growth,white,grey and black cashmere.Compared with other classification,the diversity of coarse hair traits was more abundant.According to the study of their coat types,it was found that it had intermediate or low phenotypic correlation and genetic correlation with other economic traits,and had a certain reference value for indirect selection for cashmere economic traits.Based on the relevant research data of cashmere goats recently,this paper discussed the diversity of cashmere goat hair-coat types and the differences in their study criteria.The prospect and thinking for the future research of different hair-coat types in cashmere goats were put forward to provide reference and theoretical basis for the future molecular biology research of hair-coat types and the breeding of new strains.

Key words: cashmere goat; hair-coat type; cashmere quality; genetic parameter; genetic pattern
