H.  aThe effect of early weaning of Brahman cross calves on calf growth and reproductive performance of the dam.  c1975  aIt is shown, for a herd of Brahman cross cattle in the humid tropical lowlands of Papua New Guinea, that reducing the age of weaning from seven to four months advances the date of subsequent calving by ca 39 days. The calving interval is nevertheles always  considerably shorther than that recorded from similar equatorial climates elsewhere. The 4- month calves showed an unexpected sensitivoty to pasture quality, the nature of which requires further investigation.  acattle  areproduction  aCrescimento  aGado  aReprodução  aBrahman cross  aGrowth1 aWILLIAMS, W.
