Abstract This paper deals with the oestrus, mating, pregnancy, parturition and breast-feeding of the ounces,as well as the behaviour and growth of youngs.The oestrus of ounces usually occurs in Apring, but for some times mayoccur in early summer. A female ounce began to have an oestrus on March 5 - 7, 1984 and was mated with a male in Xining People's Park, QinghaiProvince.The female ounce gave birth to 3 youngs on July 13.The pregnancyperiod was 99 days.This is the first reproduction record of ounces in China.The young ounces opened eyes on 8 - 9 th days postnatal, and was able to see moving things within one metre on 23th day, to see immobile things within two metres on 40th day postnatal and to see anything within 5 metres on 60th day postnatal. The eye-sight of young ounces are as same as that of the adult on 90th day postnatal.The senses of hearing and smelling of young ounces are highly sensitive.The authors have also studied the relation between the body weights and the body measurements and the average food intake of 3 young ounces, some measures were taken for the reproduction of ounces, such as the increase of light supply and physical exercises, the feeding with living animals and the control of eating quantity.
