Ylinen et al.

Key words: fur animal, fatness, pelt size, pelt quality Introduction Finland is the largest producer of blue fox pelt in Europe and one of the largest in the world, with blue fox pelt being the main product of the Finnish fur industry (FiFur 2018).	cache/afs-96041.pdf	txt/afs-96041.txt
