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 objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of stalk/leaf ratio and the stage of maturity on the digestibility of the corn plant. Hybrids AG1051, AG4051, AG5011, DOW2B710, DOW2C577, DOW2A525, NB7315 and P30F90 were used, harvested at the one-half milk line (½ ML), three-quarters milk line (¾ ML) and black layer (BL) stages. A randomized block design was used in an 8 (hybrids) × 3 (stages of maturity) factorial design, with three replications. The means generated were used […]

It was assessed the nutritive value of hand plucked forage samples collected along the grazing period and the animal performance on Mombaçagrass pasture under intermittent stocking with three rest periods (RP). The RPs were defined by the time required for the expansion of 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 new leaves per tiller, after six days grazing period. The experimental area was divided into five paddocks for the 2.5 new leaves RP and six paddocks for the 3.5 and 4.5 new leaves […]
