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.

Test-day records of milk yields from the first three lactations were used to verify consequences of incorporation of lactation with non-conventional drying-off causes in genetic evaluation of Gyr dairy cattle. The first file (File1) was composed of test-day records of lactations with conventional drying-off causes. In the second file (File2), the test-day records of lactations with non-conventional drying-off causes were included, such as drying-off by death or separation of the calf, disease, death or sale of cow, and removal of […]

The objective of this study was to investigate, via simulated data, the effect of heterogeneity of residual variance among contemporary groups (CG) on genetic evaluation of beef cattle, and to compare a weighted genetic evaluation procedure (R¹Ise2) with one that assumes homogeneity of variances (R = Ise2). Different data sets of postweaning weight gain, adjusted to 345 days, were simulated with and without heterogeneity of residual variance, using a phenotypic variance of 300 kg2 and a true heritability of 0.4.
