- Abstract
The article examines the calving interval (CI) of water buffaloes Murrah in the Zona de Mata de Pernambuco, Brazil. It explores a herd of 75 Murrah dams breeds from 1982 to 1996 and determines the CI of these buffaloes. It suggests that the calving season did not influence the CI and that buffaloes have seasonal reproductive activity.
