Armagh, North Irland BT666 ln.The <strong>trial</strong> was ordered and paid by APC, Europe S.A.The purpose of the <strong>trial</strong> was to establish the apparent mink digestibility of crude protein (CP), in theproduct, and analyse the content of its amino acids.Material and methodThe sample of <strong>AP301</strong> <strong>PB</strong> was received on the 21 st of February 2004.<strong>AP301</strong> <strong>PB</strong> is spray dried animal blood cells, 20-30% of porcine and 70-80% of bovine origin.The <strong>trial</strong> was conducted as a regression design, consisting of 5 groups of three animals each. Adult malemink of the colour type Scanbrown were used. The diets contained <strong>AP301</strong> <strong>PB</strong> equaling from 0 to 53%,of the dietary total crude protein. (table 1).Table 1.

Dietallowance was 300 kcal metabolizable energy (ME) per day the first 6 days, and 250 kcal ME the last 5days.The <strong>trial</strong> was conducted from the 2 nd to the 13 th of February 2004.Diets and faeces were analysed by Dansk Pelsdyr Foder A/S, Analyselaboratoriet.1<strong>Hemoglobin</strong> powder for Mink. <strong>Digestibility</strong> <strong>trial</strong> F238 performed by Danish <strong>Fur</strong> Breeders Research Center
