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 spatial and temporal variability of status descriptive characters of Brachiaria decumbens (signalgrass) cv. Basilisk deferred pastures. Treatments consisted of combinations of pasture deferring periods (73, 103, 131 and 163 days) with grazing periods (29, 57 and 85 days). Randomized block design with two repetitions and subdivided plots was used. It was determined the dispersion of pasture height (PH), stretched plant height (SPH) and falling index (FI) values. Pasture height spatial variability increased linearly with the deferring period, […]

This research was carried out aiming to assess the forage mass and its morphological components, pasture height and falling index, bulk density and the forage nutritional value on nitrogen (N) fertilized and deferred Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk pastures. The treatments had 73, 95 and 116-day deferring periods, and 0, 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha N doses. A randomized block design with three replicates and subdivided plots was used. Total forage, green forage and green stem mass, as well as pasture […]
