Abstract
Duration of oestrous cycle and gestation, and characteristics of postp artum oestrus of chital hinds are described. Mean duration of the oest rous cycle of chital hinds was 19.3 +/- 1.3 days, with a range of 17-2 1 days. Serum progesterone profiles are shown, with minimum progestero ne concentrations near oestrus less than 2.7 nmol l-1, and maximum lut eal values 16-26 nmol l-1. Mean duration of gestation was 234.5 +/- 3. 0 days (n = 17).
