Blood samples from 100 minks from a research farm using bacteriologically high quality feed and from 55 minks from another farm supplying bacteriologically inferior feed, as well as from nine minks from Denmark from two farms providing still better quality feed than both Finnish farms - all minks apparently clinically healthy - were analyzed for some haematological and chemical data: total leucocyte count, haemoglobin, ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OCT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma-GT), total bilirubin and creatinine. The Finnish minks supplied with high quality feed had more optimal values of total leucocytes, haemoglobin, OCT, AP and creatinine than minks receiving feed with higher bacterial contamination. The Danish minks had better blood values in the investigated parameters except for lower haemoglobin and total bilirubin, which showed no significant difference.
