The 41 values were compared between males (n = 10) and female (n = 10) minks. The results showed that gender influenced (p<0.05) serum biochemistry values. Male minks had higher (p<0.05) Creatin Kinase (CK) and Alanine aminotrotransferase (ALT) and lower (p<0.05) Amylase (AM) than females. However, the hematology values were not different by genders.
