The main objective of this study was to assess the performance of the gaur captive breeding project undertaken by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) at Jenderak Breeding Centre in Pahang. The study was carried out based on secondary information from annual reports and office records available at the centre. Primary data were gathered from interviews with the officials and staff of the centre. The population of the captive gaur was generally increasing. Although planned mating has been practiced, with only five (3 males and 2 females) wild founders, certain degree of inbreeding cannot be avoided in the fourth generation.
