The prevalence of salmonellas in mink [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1974 SUMMARYThe mean isolation rates of salmonellas from the mesenteric lymph nodes and faeces of healthy mink were 16·7% of 618 animals from three farms and 3·9% of 772 animals from four farms respectively. Salmonella senftenberg was the most commonly isolated serotype. S. typhimurium, S. dublin, S. livingstone, S. menston, S. enteritidis, S.

Genomic analyses for feed efficiency traits in American mink
, 2023 Feed efficiency is a key factor in the economic outcomes of mink production systems, as the cost of feed accounts for the largest portion of their variable expenses. So far, the Canadian mink industry has relied solely on phenotypic selection as its main

Conserving Rodent Pests in Transition Toward Endangered Status
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Rodent control invariably takes place in the context of ecosystems heavily modified by agriculture. Together, they are potent drivers of rodent decline and endangerment. Nineteen percent of 2349 rodent species evaluated in the IUCN Red List of threatened species are of some conservation concern.

Nutritional aspects of sexual dimorphism in the American mink mustela vison (schreber) [PDF]
, 1987 Nutritional aspects of size-related sex differences in the diets of free-living mink were investigated in laboratory-based feeding trials with adult farm-bred mink maintained on 'natural' diets.
