“…For this reason, studies of cattle demographics and longevity carried out in other countries cannot be readily extrapolated to Bhutan. The median age of cattle in the study population was 5 years (Q1 3 years; Q3 7 years), substantially greater than a median cattle age of 3 years reported in Bangladesh (Chowdhury et al, 2014) and similar to 5 years reported in India (our estimate from data provided in Odend'hal, 1972). Local breed cattle were, in general, older than exotic breeds for both males and females (Table 1).…”
