Contents Two years of observations on Baoule and Zebu cows under adequate management conditions, show that uterine involution usually ends after 30 days in both breeds; it is shorter in younger animals. Suckled Baoules have a long post partum anoestrus (57 days), which is comparable to reported behavior of Bos taurus taurus in the temperate zones. In suckled Zebus post partum resumption of cyclicity seems to be very long. Inhalt Uterusinvolution und Wiederbeginn des ovariellen Zyklusgeschehens bei Baoule‐(Bos taurus taurus) und Zeburindern (Bos taurus indicus) Zweqährige Beobachtungen reigten, daß die Uterusinvolution bei Baoule und Zebu‐Kühen unter gleichen Haltungsbedingungen normalerweise nach 30 Tagen beendet ist, bei jungen Tieren aber früher endet. Saugende Baoule‐Kühe haben einen langen post‐partum Anostrus (57 Tage), was somit dem beschriebenen Verhalten von Bos taurus taurus in gemaJ3igten Klimazonen entspricht. Bei saugenden Zebu Rindern dauert der Wiedereintritt in das Zyklusgeschehen scheinbar erheblich langer.
