Pig hair or bristle is one of the economically important by-products of pig farming obtained at
the time of slaughter having multiple industrial and domestic utilities. The present study was
conducted to document tensile and microscopic properties of the fibres obtained from
crossbred (Hampshire X Ghungroo) pigs. The mean density of fibres in the neck and back
region was 15.61 and 12.08 per cm2 respectively. The fibres grew at an average rate of
0.165mm/day and had a mean tensile strength of 15.81±0.65 cN/tex. The average extensibility
and the work of rupture of the pig hair fibre were 35.00±0.73% and 0.052±0.003J/m/tex
respectively. The average thickness of the fibres in the mid-shaft and root region was
267.89±8.10 and 319.19±6.49µm respectively. Microscopically, three distinct regions
(cuticle, medulla and cortex) could be recognized. The cortex region comprised of 85.64% of
the thickness of mid-shaft region of the fibres studied. Certain variations in the microscopic
properties of the fibres obtained from different body regions could be observed even though
some of them were insignificant. However, most of the tensile properties of the fibres
obtained from different body regions were similar (insignificant, P
