Abstract
An attempt was made to investigate the influence of breed on relative growth patterns of protein and fat in cattle and buffaloes. Comparisons were made using literature data of 107 temperate cattle breeds and 24 male Kedah-Kelantan cattle KK and swamp buffaloes SB. There was no breed difference for growth pattern of protein when compared at the same body weight. The growth coefficients of fat estimated from allometric equation relating fat to body weight for KK and SB differed from those for temperate cattle breeds. When compared at the same degree of maturity of body weight KK had remarkably lower fat accretion than other breeds while variation in fat accretion was reduced among temperate breeds.
