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 genotype-environment interaction (GEI) in the body weight adjusted to 550 days of age (W550) of Polled Nellore cattle raised in Northeastern Brazil using reaction norms (RN) models. Hierarchical RN models included fixed effects for age of cow (linear and quadratic) and random effects for contemporary groups (CG) and additive genetic RN level and slope. Four RN hierarchical models (RNHM) were used. The RNHM2S uses the solutions of contemporary groups estimated by […]

In the Nellore Breed Genetic Improvement Program (PMGRN) the breeding value predictions of five different traits are put together in a single number named Total Genetic Merit (MGT). This number is calculated from the Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) of: weight at 120 days of age – maternal; weight at 120, 365 and 450 days of age direct; and scrotal circumference at 365 and 450 days of age direct. The aim of this study was to identify and to describe the […]
