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.

It was evaluated by the Cornell System carbohidrates fractions and nitrogenous compounds of the following grasses at the cutting ages of 14, 28, 42, and 56 days: nilo grass (Acroceras macrum), angola grass (Brachiaria purpurascens), aleman grass (Echinochloa polystachya), limpo grass (Hemarthria altíssima), setaria grass (Setaria anceps), tanner grass (Brachiaria arrecta), and tifton-85 grass (Cynodon spp). The experiment was carried out in a complete randomized block design, in a split plot arrangement in a way that the grasses were evaluated […]

The objective of this work was to validate the prediction equations for neutral detergent fiber indigestible fraction (iNDF) employed by the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (Sniffen equation) and the National Research Council (Conrad’s equation). A database with 114 observations taken from tropical grass, with lignin and indigestible neutral detergent fiber (iNDF) contents, was used. Comparison among predicted and observed values was accomplished by adjusting a linear regression model with predicted values as dependent variable and observed values as […]
