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 research was conducted during the 1994/95 and 1995/96 growing seasons (Oct./Apr.), at the Estação Experimental de Ituporanga/EPAGRI – SC, with the objective to determine the potential of animal production and pasture responses as dry matter (DM) accumulation rate and quality of forage and profile structure of a pasture of `Mott’ dwarf elephantgrass (MDE) under four levels of forage on offer (FO). The actual levels of FO were 3.8 7.5; 10.2 and 14.0 kg green leaf lamina DM (GLLDM) /100 […]

Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of three grazing frequencies (28, 38 and 48 days) on forage mass, dry matter (DM) accumulation rate and leaf:stem ratio in Tanzania and Mombaça, from September 1995 to May 1996 period. A split plot experimental design was used, with grazing frequency as main plots and period of the year as subplots. The forage mass per grazing was greater when the grazing frequency was small, however did not have an effect on […]
