Selection for litter size, body weight, and pelt quality in mink (Mustela vison): correlated responses.

Journal of animal science - 1 May 1994

Lagerkvist G, Johansson K, Lundeheim N

Abstract excerpt

In a five-generation selection experiment, separate lines of standard mink (Mustela vison) were subjected to selection for litter size at 3 wk (F line), body weight in September (BS line), underfur density (P line), or combined selection for litter size and body weight (I line). One unselected line served as a control (C line). The present paper focuses on correlated responses to selection regarding fertility and...
