The annual reproductive cycle of mink (Mustela vison).
Reproductive organ development, plasma sex steroid concentrations and fur growth patterns were determined for pubescent and adult mink of both sexes, at 1tc~ 8-week intervals, between July and the following June. Plasma estradiol concentrations and weights (mg/kg) of ovaries, oviducts and uteri decreased slightly in both pubescent and adult females during the first half of anestrus (July to Oct...
متن کاملPrevalence of Antibody to Aleutian Mink Disease Virus in European Mink (mustela Lutreola) and American Mink (neovison Vison) in Spain.
The European mink (Mustela lutreola) has undergone a dramatic decline and is one of the most endangered mammals in the world. The invasive American mink (Neovison vison) is considered the main factor for this decline. However, the American mink's introduction and the subsequent ecological concurrence of the two species cannot solely explain the decline or disappearance of the European mink. Ale...
متن کاملHybridization between escaped domestic and wild American mink (Neovison vison).
The release of domesticated organisms into natural populations may adversely affect these populations through predation, resource competition, and the introduction of disease. Additionally, the potential for hybridization between wild and domestic conspecifics is of great concern because it can alter the evolutionary integrity of the affected populations. Wild American mink (Neovison vison) pop...
متن کاملIntrahepatic Distribution of The Hepatic Veins and Biliary Ducts In American Mink Liver (Mustela vison)
The aim of the study was to evaluate the intrahepatic ramification of hepatic veins and biliary ducts in American mink liver. Minks are not classical laboratory animals, but with the expansion of fur farming these animals have become available for many biomedical researches. Hepatic veins and biliary ducts of the mink liver were studied by dissection and injection corrosion technique. We determ...
متن کاملGeneralization of fear in farm mink, Mustela vison, genetically selected for behaviour towards humans
Mink offspring from two genetic lines, selected over 10 generations for confident (C) or fearful (F) reaction towards humans, were exposed to six different tests. The aim was to investigate whether this behavioural selection in mink has affected their reaction in other potentially fear-eliciting situations. A total of 192 naïve mink, males and females, were tested over 6 weeks. C-mink had a sho...
