Abstract
The resting heat production of two female mink subjected to different ambient temperatures was minimal at 25 ± 2 °C. These animals, when exposed to temperatures above 29 °C and to a high relative humidity, became restless, but showed no such discomfort at temperatures close to 0 °C.The basal heat production (76.5 kcal/W0.73) of three sleeping female mink was within the range that would be predicted from work with other species.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
