Effect of sex on the weight gain of calves (Bubalus bubalis) reared in silvopastoral systems during the dry season by Efraín Chacón Condori, Luis A. de la Cruz-Cruz

“…After weaning, the animals were abruptly separated and placed in 15 38-hectare paddocks with silvopastoral systems and rotational grazing in pastures with native and introduced grasses and natural shade. The data was analyzed by comparing means using Tukey’s test with a significance level of p<0.05. …”
