| Sumario: | The incisors of 64 Malawi Zebu females with known birth dates from the Bunda college farm herd were checked monthly over a period of 22 months when the cattle were weighed. When a pair of permanent incisors had erupted in the interval since the previous weighing the age of eruption was taken as mid-way between the two weighings. Eruption of a pair was not considered to have occured unless both teeth of the pair were plainly visible. A total of 98 observations of eruption were obtained. |
