The skulls of 165 red foxes (75 wild and 90 farm-bred individuals) collected in Poland in the
years 2012–2014 were measured, analysed, and compared to further investigate the effect …

This study presents estimates of heritability for fur coat and reproductive traits in arctic and
silver foxes kept in farms in Poland. The estimates of variance components were calculated …

Three data sets were available: records on conformation and coat traits for the arctic fox from
one farm (5 540 observations, collected between 1983 and 1997), and the same traits for the …

Coat and conformation traits (body size, colour type, colour purity, coat density, hair length,
general appearance, total score) of 4 306 arctic foxes bred on the niaty Fox Farm (Poland) in …

Data on 4 435 animals, collected on two fox farms in 1985–1999, were used in the
estimation of genetic parameters and genetic trends for four traits evaluated according to …

Records of 3782 arctic foxes were used for estimation of additive genetic and error variance
components for conformation and coat traits. Body size (BS), colour type (CT), colour purity …

ABSTRACT A data set of 3637 records collected on two Polish fox farms in 1985-1999 was
used to estimate variance components and genetic trends in a population of the silver fox. In …

Reported are results of a 3-year study that attempted at introduction the BLUP AM and the
total merit index (TMI) to Polish fur farming as tools for the estimation of breeding value with …

The aim of this study was to determine factors, which significantly affect pelt size and fur
quality in arctic foxes, and to estimate genetic parameters and breeding values for these …

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic, phenotypic and environmental trends of
conformation and reproductive traits of Arctic foxes. 21212 Arctic foxes from three large …
