All of those hides were cut into two pieces through the back line from next to tail. And then by using Cr2O3 of 2,5% and 3,0%, those hides were processed into light buffed leather. The Cr2O3 of 4,0 % 6,0% were used for fat liquoring. The tensile strength, tensile stretch and fat content of those leather then analyzed. The data were analyzed by factorial design. Based on the statistical analysis’ known that all of those treatment and combination treatment, were not significant (£ ? 0,05).
