Selection for litter size, body weight, and pelt quality in mink (Mustela vison): experimental design and direct response of each trait.

Journal of animal science - 1 Dec 1993

Lagerkvist G, Johansson K, Lundeheim N

Abstract excerpt

In a five-generation selection experiment, separate lines of mink (Mustela vison) were subjected to selection for improved litter size at 3 wk (F line), BW in September (BS line), and underfur density (P line), and combined selection for litter size and BW (I line). Underfur density was subjectively judged on live animals. One unselected line served as a control (C line). Significant changes were achieved in each...
