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.

Two experiments were conducted to study the effect of adding chlorine on drinking water and different dietary energy levels on the body weight gain and water intake in broiler chickens. In Experiment 1, broilers were fed diets containing two levels of energy (2900 and 3200 kcal ME/kg) in each growing phase. The dietary energy level did not affect the water intake and the body weight gain of the broilers. In experiment 2, the dietary metabolizable energy level was 3200 kcal […]
