Twenty three male buffalo calves were used in this investigation. Calves after weaning were fed on fromula ted rations until they were slaughtered at 6 different ages ( 12,24,38,42,57 and 58 weeks). The live body weight gradually increased as calves advanced in age. The highest wei ght increment (919.69kg) was attained between 50-58 weeks age. The carcass weight in relation to live body weight was found to be comparatively high at 12 weeks age then declined at 24 weeks age after which a marked increase was ob served up to the end of experimental period (58 weeks). - The weight increments in edible offals was markedly increased at 50 weeks age and on wards. - Suggestions for slaughtering male buffalo calves age are given.
