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.

Initial success in sperm cryopreservation occurred at about the same time for aquatic species and livestock. However, in the 50 plus years since then cryopreserved sperm of livestock has grown into a billion-dollar global industry, while cryopreserved sperm of aquatic species remains a research activity with little commercial application despite work in more than 90 species and more than 200 published reports. Most research work has focused on large-bodied culture and sport fishes, such as salmon, trout, carp, and catfish, […]

Fifteen reproductive, 22 vegetative and 21 agronomic descriptors were evaluated, the agronomic ones comprised seven descriptors for annual, winter and summer evaluations, respectively, with the objective to select the most appropriate descriptors for characterization of Paspalum guenoarum and Paspalum plicatulum. Principal components analysis was used to discard redundante or non-discriminative descriptors. The principal component analysis allowed a reduction of 53, 68 and 43%, respectively, in the number of initial descriptors considered. By means of this technique, it was possible to […]
