🔑 Key Points
🟢 Dental Formula in Animals:
✳️ The number of each type of tooth varies between species, and the conventional method of describing them is through a "dental formula."
✳️ Types of teeth are indicated by their first letter, and the number of teeth on one side of the upper jaw is written over the corresponding teeth on the lower jaw.
✳️ The formula represents one side of the mouth, so the total number of teeth is the sum of the formula multiplied by 2.

🟢 Dental Formula for Cattle:
✳️ Temporary Teeth:
I – 0/4, C – 0/0, P – 3/3, M – 0/0 = 10 x 2 = 20
✳️ Permanent Teeth:
I – 0/4, C – 0/0, P – 3/3, M – 3/3 = 16 x 2 = 32
✳️ In cattle, permanent teeth are fully erupted by 3.5-4 years of age.
