Mink fur diet trial sparks stylish hopes and market boom
American mink farmers adopt a polyunsaturated fatty acid diet said to improve fur luster and shade as demand soars. The trend follows Japanese trials and boosts output from 1.22 million pelts in 1951 to 15 million by 1962, with fur still a strong consumer dream. Also noted are Lactocase as cattleless protein and a Borden blend tmirra-rast in mink rations, plus the Pan American Building in New York noted for its size and heliport capability.
