H. aBehaviour of beef cattle in equatorial lowlands. c1975 aA new method of transcribing visually-recorded behavioural data is described, to facilitate rapid computer processing; it is applied to a total of 31 animals (bulls, cows and calves) in the Markham Valley, Papua New Guinea. There is no evidence of seasonal variation. Approximately one-third of grazing is carried out at night, so that night yarding is not indicated without further investigation. Total times spent in recorded activities are comparable with those for temperate climates. There is evidence for an effecta of breed, in that animals with more than half-shorthorn ancestry show a marked reduction in mid-day grazing. abeef cattle aPapua New Guinea aGado de Corte aBehaviour aComportamento aEquatorial lowlands aMarkham Valley aTerras baixas equatorial1 aEFI, P.1 aWILLIAMS, W.
