RIRDC produces Research in Progress summaries of continuing projects and those completed

• to inform researchers of results to shape research directions
The complete report on all programs is on our website at http:www.rirdc.gov.au
Rare Natural Animal Fibres Research in Progress, June 2009, contains short summaries of
