Repeatability of subjective grading in fur animals II. Grading of mink and blue fox pelts
View through CrossRef
Repeatabilities for subjectively scored colour, clarity and quality traits as well as for measured and classified pelt sizes were studied in mink and blue fox pelts. Mink pelts appeared to be more difficult to grade than blue fox pelts. Among the scored traits, colour was found to be easiest to judge, while clarity as well as some pelt defects tended to be difficult to grade. Repeatabilities for size confirmed by measuring were greater as compared with the traits scored subjectively. Differences between repeatabilities attained by various persons were obvious.
