Syndrome in Mink ABERRANT IRON METABOLISM A1'D THE COTTON FUR ABNORMALITY SYNDROME IN MINK by FLOYD
Involvement of formaldehyde in depressed iron absorption in mink and rats fed Pacific hake (Merluccius productus)

Creator:

Costley, Gary Edward

Abstract:

Inclusion of substantial levels of raw-frozen Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) in diets of ranch-raised mink (Mustela vison) causes a large percentage of animals to develop an abnormal condition termed "cotton fur" (CF), characterized by depressed body weight, microcytic-hypochromic anemia and a failure of under-fur pigmentation. Observations by several groups of...

Creator:

McCulloch, William John

Abstract:

The "cotton fur" (CF) condition in mink has been shown through investigations at Oregon State University to have three basic causes, viz.: 1) Feeding diets of fish comprising certain species of the cod family, including: Pacific hake, Atlantic whiting and Alaskan pollock; 2) Inclusion of rancid fats in the diet;...
