This caused compressive atrophy with thinning and medial deviation of the corresponding submaxillary bone and exposition of the roots of molar teeth. The seeds appear to be of good palatability to the buffaloes.porAcesso AbertoAmazônia brasileiraBubalinosBúfaloBochechaSementesPará - EstadoArtigo de Periódico
