TLDR The compound additive improved growth and fur quality in blue foxes.
The study investigated the effects of a compound additive on the growth and fur quality of blue foxes, involving 160 foxes divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group received a diet supplemented with the additive, which included methionine, vitamins A, D, E, dihydropyridine, and amino acid chelated zinc. Results showed a 28.7% increase in weight gain in the experimental group compared to the control, with a significant difference (P < 0.01). Although the average daily weight gain and fur measurements like pelt length and hair diameter were improved, these differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Overall, the compound additive was found to enhance growth and fur quality in blue foxes.
