The microbiota of farmed mink (Neovison vison) follows a successional development and is affected by early life antibiotic exposure
Abstract On many mink farms, antibiotics are used extensively during the lactation period to reduce the prevalence and severity of pre-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) in mink kits (also referred to as greasy kit syndrome). Concerns have been raised, that routine treatment of PWD with antibiotics could affec...
