The Reproductive Success of Farmed American Mink (Neovison Vison) – A Review

Ludwiczak, Agnieszka; Stanisz, Marek

doi:10.2478/aoas-2018-0061

Abstract

The aim of this review was to define the most important factors that affect the reproductive success of farmed mink. The biology of mink reproduction is unique when comparing it with other farmed fur animals. The article emphasizes the importance of optimal environmental conditions in prevention of reproductive disorders. The novel attempts to the mating schedule, optimal diet and body condition of dams, kits transfer between dams, these are only examples of advantageous procedures used in mink farming to increase the effectiveness of reproduction.
