This paper presents abstracts submitted at the NJF Seminar 427, Fur Animal Research, Vaasa, Finland, 13-15 October, 2009. Topics include: value of different dried protein sources to cover the minks need for amino acids; apparent and true digestibility of protein and amino acids during the early growth period in mink fed different levels of carbohydrates and protein; late gestation protein supply to mink - short and long term effects on performance and metabolism of progeny; energy metabolism of growing blue foxes; body score in feeding strategy in reproduction period mink; methionine for mink in the growing - furring period - a review; litter size in mink in relation to feeding intensity during flushing; level of inbreeding and genetic distance in Danish farm mink ( Neovison vison); genetic parameters of body condition score and leg weakness in Finnish blue fox ( Alopex lagopus); responses in weight, feed intake and feed conversion efficiency in lines of mink selected on ad libitum and restricted feeding; a meta-analysis shows that access to a swimming bath reduces stereotyped behaviour in farmed mink; behavioural studies on the use of varied open water supplies by American mink ( Neovison vison); measuring behavioral laterality in the blue fox; effect of enlarged cage production in foxes; preliminary results of using behavioural latencies to assess the use of sand floor in bleu foxes; drinking water in nestbox when kits start eating farm food supports kits and dam; importance of nest box size and material, for litter size - a pilot study; effect of sulfur containing amino acid on mineral absorption mink; DNA vaccination of mink kits induce robust protection against distemper; animal data from Sampo-farms - a basis for knowledge and information joint Finnish/Norwegian database from visual Sampo; economydoctor as a tool for monitoring and analysis of the economy of fur farms; fox animal manures as P source for plants; numbers of nipples per kit affects kit survival; artificial light and fur animals - effect of light pollution on reproduction and fur quality; glycerol in mink feed in the growing and furring periods; compensatory growth in mink kits ( Mustela vison) following reduced protein intake after weaning; apparent digestibility of glycerol in mink; coat colour in mink - effect on amino acids and chelated minerals (phe and Tyr, plus Fe, Cu and Zn); microsporidia linked to systemic inflammatory linfoplasmocellular lesion in mink a preliminary study; and body condition scoring method for the blue fox ( Alopex lagopus).
