Abstract
ANAEMIA is a common condition in mink kits and may cause serious economical losses, for the development of good quality fur depends on a normal haemoglobin concentration in the blood. Anaemia in mink induced by fish leads to achromotrichia, cotton fur, and may be described as a hypochromic microcytic iron deficiency anaemia.
