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.

Four buffaloes and four cattle rumen fistulated were used with the objective to study the effects of different levels of neutral detergent fiber in the diet on the digestion characteristics. The In situ degradations of dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) of the coastcross hay and wheat meal, DM of the corn ground and soybean meal were evaluated. The digestibilities of DM, crude protein and NDF of the diets were also evaluated using a Cr2O3 as a marker. The […]

Four buffaloes and four cattle rumen fistulated were used to study the effects of different levels of neutral detergent fiber in the diet on the rumen fermentation characteristics. Ammonia concentration, volatile fatty acids (VFA) production (acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid) and pH in the ruminal fluid were evaluated. The animals were allotted to two latin square experimental design (4×4) in a 4×2 factorial arrangement with four increasing levels of NDF in the DM (54, 60, 66 and 72%) […]
