DOI: 10.1093/jas/skac216
Abstract: Feed cost is the largest expense of mink production systems, and therefore, improvement of feed efficiency (FE) through selection for high feed efficient mink is a practical way to increase the mink industry's sustainability. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.13061
Abstract: The release of domestic organisms to the wild threatens biodiversity because the introduction of domestic genes through interbreeding can negatively impact wild conspecifics via outbreeding depression. In North America, farmed American mink (Neovison vison) frequently… read more here.

DOI: 10.1515/mammalia-2017-0013
Abstract: Abstract The American mink (Neovison vison) was introduced in Europe for fur farming in the 1920s and feral populations were formed due to escapes or intentional releases to the wild thereafter. Nowadays, the species is… read more here.
