Abstract

ABSTRACT Litter size in markhor was determined in Chitral Gol game sanctuary during the first fortnight of July, 1977, one month after the birth of young ones. A kid/female ratio of 1.2 was observed. Percentage of younger age gradations in the population was more except one year and 2-year-age classes which indicated mortality in the previous 2 years. Kid/female ratio in various age gradations showed that the reproductive activity was less in younger age classes. Twinning was a rule in females more than 8 years, whereas the frequency of twinning was more in females older than 5 years.
