Abstract
The present work defines effectiveness of reproductive usage of a chinchilla stock of about 100 females, within four consecutive years. The analysis of the reproductive parameters revealed that high percentage (21.3%) of females was infertile. The mean number of young reared through nursing period was 1.53 per female. Mortalities of young oscillated around 19%. Summing up, the obtained results can be considered as moderate ones. Improvement can be achieved through selecting for reproduction of females from multiple pregnancies and also elimination of infertile females.
