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 knowledge of the genetic relationships between the parameters of lactation curve and the milk yield is important for the selection of cows and sire. The records milk yield from 583 cows of the Guzerá breed, daughters of 165 sire, were used to estimate the lactation curve parameters by two mathematical models. Milk productions were obtained from the extracted base of data from National Animal Science Archive maintained by National Center for Dairy Research (Embrapa Gado de Leite). The analyses […]

Records of 4,595 lactations from 2,254 cows, daughters of 145 sires and 1,618 dams of Gyr breed from 18 herds, with observed calving time from 1980 to 1997, were used to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters of milk yield up to 305 days and projected partial lactations. From 91, 151, 211 or 241 days in milk, 10, 30, 50 or 70% of the milk yield were projected for the observed and 305 days of lactation. The genetic parameters were […]
