Abstract

Mating body weight MW peripartum weight PW calving weight CW neonatal weight NW body weight gain in gestation BG gestation days GD duration of sex acceptance DSA in oestrous cycle and calving interval CI of 52 parities of 17 female Formosan Reeves' muntjac does Muntiacus reevesi micrurus farmed in southern Taiwan 22.5N 120.5E were investigated from 1996 to 2003. The muntjacs showed no seasonality in the events of breeding and calving performance. The average of DSA MW PW CW NW BG GD and CI were 15.5 h 8.57 10.88 9.51 0.94 2.05 kg 210 and 236 d respectively.
