ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE CONFORMATION TRAITS IN BLUE FOX (ALOPEX LAGOPUS L.)
The present work aims at the analysis of the factors that influence animal size and fur quality in blue fox (Alopex lagopus L). The data proceeds from a breeding farm situated in central Poland and concerns three years. The analysis of variance indicates statistically significant effect of the year...
