Abstract - Beef cattle farming is very much popular throughout the world to fill up the growing demand for animal pro- tein. Beef cattle production is an integral part of farming in Bangladesh. Therefore, the present cross-sectional study was aimed to evaluate the birth weight and growth rate of three types of cattle including Brahman- Holstein Frisian- crossbred, Holstein -Friesian crossbred and indigenous cattle at three Military Farms of the Bangladesh Army. For this study, the retrospective data were collected on birth weight and yearly growth rate of 48 crossbred calves among which Brahman- Holstein Frisian- crossbred (n=33), Holstein Frisian crossbred (n=10) and indigenous (n=5) up to three years of age from three Military farms in Bangladesh Army namely Savar, Jessore, and Ishawardi. Irrespective of cattle types, calf weight was ranged between 18-39 kg. The mean birth weight of Brahman- Holstein Frisian-cross bred calves was 27.36 ? 5.59 kg, Holstein Frisian crossbred calves were 30.50 ? 4.25 kg and indigenous crossbred calves was 20.80 ? 2.59 kg. However, the Brahman- Hol- stein Frisian- cross calves gained significantly (P < 0.01) higher body weight 171.90 ? 23.54 kg at first year, 316.90 ? 35.12 kg at second year and 525.45 ? 48.26 kg at the third year) than the Holstein Frisian cross and indigenous calves over the next three years. An average daily body weight gain of Brahman- Holstein Frisian- cross-bred was found higher in (556.18 ? 64.27 gm) in 3rd year than both second year and first year of age. Considering the area, the birth weight of Brahman- Holstein Frisian- crossbred calves in Savar ranges from 32-37 kg, which was better than Isharwdi and Jessore. First-year average daily body weight was more in Savar though in second-and third-year daily weight gain was more in Ishawardi. Results showed a better growth rate of Brahman- Holstein Frisian- crossbred in comparison to the Holstein Frisian crossbred and Indigenous calves. This study suggests that the Brahman crossbred might be a very promising source to reduce the deficiency of animal proteins in Bangladesh.
