摘要:
The aim of the present experiment was to investigate the temporal development of fur damage in mink as well as the significance of social conditions (alone, in pairs or in family groups) on frequency and development of fur damage in mink kits. The adult generation was selected and distributed into two groups, partly on the basis of the frequency and character of the fur damage. The kits examined were offspring from these adult mink plus those from a randomly selected control group.
