Abstract
The liver residue factor deficiency of the mink fed purified diets has been shown to be a deficiency of two amino acids, arginine and methionine. Arginine and methionine have been shown to be of critical importance for the fur production of the mink fed purified diets containing casein as the sole source of protein.Keywords
