Energy metabolism of growing blue foxes, Alopex lagopus
As a strictly seasonal animal the blue fox exhibits seasonal fluctuations in feed intake and accretion of body fat, feed intake and body fat retention being very high during autumn and early winter while fed unrestrictedly. In practice blue foxes are fed ad libitum during the growing - furring perio...
