Abstract
SUMMARYResults of visual and radiographic development of the mandibular caudal teeth were obtained from 135 cattle between 1 and 2 years old. Age ranges for each stage of tooth development were obtained. Using visual assessment of second molar intra-oral eruption the maximum age range before animals could be differentiated was 8 months (1 year 3 months from 1 year 11 months). Animals showed different stages of development in all six teeth using criteria based on resorption of the temporary premolar teeth and crown and root formation in the permanent premolar and molar teeth. The maximum age range before animals could be distinguished was 5 months (1 year 6 months from 1 year 11 months) and at all other ages the age difference before differentiation was less.
