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.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of cytoplasmic lineage on birth weight (BW) and pre weaning average daily gain (ADG), respectively of 4,212 and 3,844 records of Caracu cattle breed. The cytoplasmic lineage of each cow was traced back to the first female ancestor in the maternal line of its pedigree. The estimates of (co) variances and genetic parameters for BW and ADG including or not the components of maternal and cytoplasmic lineage effects, performed by […]

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of cytoplasmic lineage on milk yield of 11,163 records of Caracu cattle breed. The cytoplasmic lineage of each cow was traced back to the first female ancestor in the maternal line of its pedigree. The estimates of (co) variances and genetic parameters for milk yield including or not the components of maternal and cytoplasmic lineage effects, performed by univariate analyses were evaluated according to six different models using the derivative-free […]
