Growth performance was studied in 2918 standard black mink kits. The kits originated from a divergent selection experiment for body growth between two and four weeks. Growth was influenced by sex, litter size, age of dam, and production year. Sex dimorphism was found already at birth. Litter size had a negative effect on body weight and body length from birth to pelting. The age of the dam (yearlings vs. adults) had a positive influence on body weight, especially during the suckling period, and after weaning until September (age about 4.5 months) and even longer in female kits. The effect on body length was significant for female kits until July (age about 3 months). |
