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.

Aiming to evaluate alternative materials to be used as broiler litter reutilization, six consecutive lots of 5,600 female broilers were allocated to 35 pens. The treatments consisted of seven types of litter materials: wood shavings, rice husk, ground corncob, chopped camerongrass, chopped soybean straw, chopped corn stalk and sawdust, each one with five replications. In the birds, it was evaluated the average body weight, feed consumption and in the litter, it was evaluated the contents of N, Ca, P and […]
Keywords: body weight; broiler litter reutilization; feed consumption

The data utilized in this study were obtained from 23 intacted animals from three different genetic groups: seven Nellore (N), eight ½ Caracu + ¼ Angus + ¼ Nellore (CCAN) and eight ½ Caracu + ¼ Simental + ¼ Nellore (CCSN). These animals were produced as part of an ample project which is being carried out at Embrapa Gado de Corte whose main objective is to identify a genetic group that besides being adapted, is capable to produce meat of […]
