“…The above presented analysis does not exhaust the discussed topic -the influence of various factors on the rearing of kits. For example, the aspect of the behavior of females during the rearing of norchats was not discussed at all, and as it was shown by Zieliński et al [2019] the character of the female (whether she is, for example, timid, aggressive or curious, is very important for the number of born and reared young.) The above authors stated that timid females build nests and care for the young best.…”

The aim of this study was to indicate the relationship between various genetic and environmental factors and the results of kits rearing. Among the factors determining the degree of rearing of young kits, genetic factors should be mentioned, especially the color of the mink, and the environmental factors include: duration of labor, age of mothers, mating and laying time, length of pregnancy, litter size, nutrition, body condition the female and her milk yield, indoor microclimate, bacterial and viral diseases, or the care provided by the farm staff. As a result of the analysis, it can be concluded that the number of reared mink babies is influenced by both the color variety and a number of environmental factors, and the mink farmer's task is to get to know all these aspects and treat them comprehensively. The mink breeding should be carried out in such a way that the animal welfare is as good as possible, so that the females give birth to the healthiest and strongest litters.
