The Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia (RBZ) is a publication dedicated to the broad field of Animal Science. We publish high-quality, original scientific research that spans across diverse areas within the discipline. The scope of RBZ encompasses a wide range of topics, including aquaculture, biometeorology and animal welfare, forage crops and grasslands, animal and forage plants breeding and genetics, animal reproduction, ruminant and non-ruminant nutrition, meat science and muscle biology, precision livestock, and animal production systems and agribusiness.

The experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of processing (whole or ground) and including coffee hulls in elephant grass silage on the effluent production and composition. A randomized complete design in a 2 × 5 factorial design with two processes (whole or ground) and five coffee hull levels (0; 6; 12; 18 and 24 %) each with three replications. A split-plot design was used to assess the effluent composition, where the main plot consisted of a 2 × […]

The experiment aimed to evaluate the effects of processing (whole or ground) and the inclusion level of coffee hulls, (0; 6; 12; 18 and 24%; fresh matter basis) on the chemical-bromatological composition, fermentation characteristic and in vitro DM digestibility (IVDMD) of the elephantgrass silages. The variables were analyzed as a 2 x 5 factorial arrangement (processing and level of inclusion), distributed in a complete randomized experimental design with three replications. Processing and level of inclusion increased DM concentration and did […]
