Abstract
Litter size in Markhor was determined during the Chitral Gel survey. Markhor gave birth to their young. A female kid of ratio 1.2 was observed. With the exception of one year or two year age classes there was more percentage of younger age gradations in the population, which indicated mortality in the previous two years. Female kid ratio in various age gradations proved that the reproductive activity was less in young age classes. Twinning was a rule in females more than eight years, whereas the frequency of twinning was more in females older than five years.
