Royal Fawns Accoyo Centurion was the highest and associated with a very high level of secondary follicle development (a S/P ratio of 15.7 to 1 which ranks close to the highest level so far recorded at this laboratory). Another good outcome is that the primary fibres are relatively fine (32.2 microns) and close to the mean diameter of the secondary fibres (24.6).
