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 experiment was to evaluate the effects of replacing eCG with FSH or FSH/LH on the diameter of ovulatory follicles (DOF) and the pregnancy rates (PR) of lactating Bos indicus cows subjected to a synchronization of ovulation protocol and fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) based on progesterone, estradiol benzoate (EB), PGF2α, and estradiol cypionate (EC). On day 0, primiparous and multiparous Nellore cows (n = 329) at 68 days postpartum were body condition scored (BCS) and received a […]
The objective of the experiment was to study the effect of pretreatment with 500 mg of sometribove (rbST) on superovulatory response, on number and embryos quality of twenty six crossbred holstein-zebu heifers, allocated into two treatments: T1 ¾ treated with rbST (n=13) and T2 – control (n=13). Thirteen superovulations were done between september and december of 1997 (period 1), and thirteen superovulations between the end of december 1997 and february of 1998 (period 2). For each period seven animals were […]
Hormonal responses to GnRH and estradiol treatments and their correlation with testicular development and number of sertoli cells in prepubertal angus x charolais bulls
The objective of this research was to determine the correlation among hormone levels at 2- and 6-month of age and diameter and histology of the testis in Angus x Charolais young bulls at 6 months (n= 15). At two months, two basal blood samples were collected at 1-h intervals. After the last collection, the animals received 5 mg of GnRH and 1.5 and 3.0 h later, new samples were collected. At 6 months, the young bulls were treated with 1 […]
