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.

Adjusted for 305 days milk yield records of Holstein cows calving from 1980 to 1993 in the states of MG, SP, PR, SC, and RS were used to investigate heterogeneity of variance and to evaluate the genotype by environment interaction. Milk production from each State was considered as a different trait and variances were assumed heterogeneous. Milk production was also analyzed using a single-trait model assuming homogeneity of variance. (Co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated by Bayesian inference, via […]
