The amount of feed consumed per day and the rate of food passage was measured in mink and European ferrets. Daily feed consumption averaged 40 and 42 g dry matter per kg body weight for male mink and ferrets and 53 and 49 g dry matter per kg body weight for female mink and ferrets, respectively. Using ferric oxide as a feed marker, no differences were observed in food passage time between mink and ferrets or between males and females within each species. The mean time of food passage was 187 minutes for mink and 182 minutes for European ferrets.
对水貂和欧洲雪貂的每日采食量和食物通过速率进行了测量。雄性水貂和雪貂每日平均采食量分别为每千克体重40克和42克干物质，雌性水貂和雪貂分别为每千克体重53克和49克干物质。以三氧化二铁作为饲料标记物，未观察到水貂和雪貂之间或每个物种内雄性和雌性之间在食物通过时间上存在差异。水貂的平均食物通过时间为187分钟，欧洲雪貂为182分钟。
