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.

A mechanistic simulation model of fish larval growth should contribute to a better understanding of growth and metabolism of fish larvae. It should also assist in studying the nutritional requirements and developing feeding strategies. A model was developed that simulates growth and biochemical composition in time. The model is driven by feed intake, with absorbed nutrients being used for energy production and biosynthesis, based on the stoicheometry of intermediary metabolism. Model simulations suggest that imbalanced dietary amino acid (AA) profiles […]
