Extract

The breeding and raising of small mammals, such as skunk, minx and fox, for their fur, is a comparatively young industry in Britain, and one of the most serious hindrances to the successful husbandry of these animals is the occurrence, at any rate, in the skunk, of certain helminth parasites. We have been investigating the worms sent to us from a skunk farm, where the stock is very extensively infected, and where serious injury to the animals and great deterioration of the coat is attributed to these parasites.
