The aim of this paper is to juxtapose, on the one hand, the results of research held with a view to providing young mink with the best possible conditions in the period of being housed with their mothers (the nest box quality and the food and water provision conditions), and, on the other – the requirements set before fur farms in the scope of providing the animals with the best possible welfare standards contained in European recommendations (Welfare Quality®...2018,WelFur 2015). The analyzed research refers to the protective properties of the material lining the nest, as well as the availability of water and feed for young mink at the earliest stage of their life. The juxtaposition of the actions of farm managers and researchers with European requirements points to their congruence, which in the end result provides the animals with growing welfare conditions

W publikacji zestawiono wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w celu zapewnienia młodym norkom jak najlepszych warunków w okresie odchowu przy samicach (jakość gniazd oraz warunki żywienia i pojenia) z wymaganiami stawianymi fermom zwierząt futerkowych w zakresie zapew-nienia zwierzętom jak najwyższego poziomu dobrostanu, a zawartych w europejskich rekomenda-cjach (Welfare Quality®... 2018, WelFur2015). Analizowane badania dotyczą właściwości ochronnych materiału wyściełającego gniazdo, a także dostępności wody i pokarmu dla szczeniąt norek w jak najwcześniejszym okresie ich życia. Zestawienie ze sobą działań hodowców i naukowców oraz wymagań europejskich wskazuje na ich zbieżność mającą na celu zapewnienie zwierzę-tom coraz lepszych warunków, w jakich są utrzymywane
