Abstract

The present study had the purpose to identify the age of male buffaloes from Pará State, Brazil by teeth evaluation (incisive teeth). There was utilized 174 animals from zero to 100 month of age, without breed distinction and different farms in Pará State. Animals were separated in eight groups by age. Results showed the absence of 4th pair of incisive teeth (milk teeth) in animals aging between zero and three months. The 4th pair of incisive teeth was established definitively in animals aging between three and six months. After six months of age, animals had all of milk incisive teeth established. At 24 months of age was observed exchanges of the 1st pair of incisive teeth. Between 30 and 55 months of age occurred the exchanges of 2nd and 3rd pair of incisive teeth, respectively and above 55 months of age, animals had the exchange of 4th pair of incisive teeth.
