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.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate levels of crude protein (CP) for gilts in growing phase, maintained under thermal comfort. The internal temperature at room was kept during the experimental period in 21.3 ± 0.53°C with relative humidity of 70.5 ± 5.11%. The calculated black globe humidity index (BGHI) in this period was 68.7 ± 0.93. Forty crossbred gilts with average initial weight of 29.4 ± 1.42 kg were used in an experimental design of randomized blocks with five treatments […]

This experiment was conducted to evaluate levels of crude protein (CP) for growing gilts, under high temperature environment. The internal temperature at room was maintained at 30.7 ± 0.61°C, with relative humidity of 66.4 ± 7.7%, and the calculated black globe humidity index (BGHI) in period was of 81.1 ± 1.36. Forty crossbred gilts, with average initial weight of 29.7 ± 1.60 kg, were allotted to an experimental design of randomized blocks with five treatments (16, 17, 18, 19 and […]
