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 effects of calving year and season, property, sex of the calf, feeding regime, age of calf and age of dam at calving, maternal and direct additive effects of Charolais breed, and maternal heterosis effects among Charolais and zebu breeds were evaluated by the method of least squares on economical importance traits such as weight, scrotal circumference and visual scores for slaughter conformation, navel score and hair coat at weaning of the Canchim breed. Data from 12,334 Canchim calves born […]

This work aimed at estimating the genetic effects that affect the pre-weaning performance of animals from multibreed crosses. In order to do so, it was used information of the weight at weaning of 79,521 animals, sired by 1,020 bulls and 61,898 cows from Aberdeen Angus and Nellore breeds and from many genetic groups resulted from their crosses. Five genetic models were tested: model 1, containing the fixed breed genetic effects (additive direct and maternal effects, heterozygote direct and maternal effects, […]
