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.

Variance components were estimated for the characteristic weights at 365 and 550-days of age of animals from genetic groups used on Canchim breed development. The objective was to verify the occurrence of heterogeneity variance among the genetic groups and the its possible effect during the ranking of animals, in the genetic evaluation. The estimates were obtained for the software MTDFREML. The strategy used to estimate the components of variance for both characteristics was to consider the expression of the characteristics […]
