Males for breeding are typically between 1-5 years. The female breeder's age and history of pregnancy affects reproductive ability much more clearly. The number of pubs produced increase with number of times pregnant, and stabilizes after the fourth pregnancy. However, this number decreases after five years of age. Therefore, pregnancy rate and pub survivor rate is the highest for 1-4 years old Jamnapari, and is the peak period for breeding.
Kids should be separated from the mother one week after birth, and fed manually four times a day. The separation helps the mother to return to the next ovulation period faster. In this manner, the mother's frequency can increase from three times in two years, to five in three - thus greatly increasing productivity.
