A REVIEW OF MOOSE FERTILITY IN RUSSIA
Abstract
Information on fertility of moose (Alces alces) and survival rate of calves in Russia is reviewed. The potential fertility of moose averages 1.3 (1.1-1.6) embryos per pregnant female. The percent of dry cows is variable, but usually does not exceed 35%. Annual calf mortality reaches 60-80%. Potential recruitment rate is near 40%, but is generally close to 30% by autumn, and drops by 10-15% in spring.
