The possibility of using biophysical methods in the examination of animal hair was considered. The method of spectrophotometry and redoxometry were used. The differences in the spectra of alkaline hair hydrolysates were determined. Also, redox-potential’s differences of alkaline hair hydrolysates were studied. We can conclude preliminary that these methods can be used to identify the type of animal.
