Abstract
Post-natal development of renal function was studied in newborn Jerboa from six weeks after birth. The results showed that the renal capacit y of urine-concentration was more or less analogous to that of the adu lt, starting 15 weeks after birth when the animal reached a body weigh t of about 70 to 90 g. From the 13th week onwards, the U/P ratio of th e osmolality in function of age, increases when the urinary debit decr eases. The osmotic-clearance and the free water-clearance will show st ability 15 weeks after birth.
