  • Arnold H. Boer

Abstract

Natality of moose (Alces alces) is reported from examination of reproductive tracts from 76 cows found as non-hunting mortality in southeastern New Brunswick. Adult and yearling pregnancy rates were 79% and 39%, respectively. Twinning rates were estimated at 26%. Reproductive productivity of moose in New Brunswick compared favourably with other areas of North America.
