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 […]

The objectives of this work were to identify the mathematical functions that better fitted the milk production of Guzera breed cows, to evaluate the effects of the environmental factors on the lactation curve format and to estimate the genetic parameters for the milk production and for the dependable components of the lactation curve format. A total of 1130 lactations from 583 Guzera breed cows, daughters of 165 bulls, with production over the period from 1983 to 1997 were used. The […]

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the inbreeding on the birth weight (BW) and the weights at the 8 (W8), 12 (W12), 18 (W18) and 24 (W24) month of age, from a Guzera breed herd. The data collected from 1978 to 1992 were obtained from the animal record control of the Fazenda de Ensino e Pesquisa do Campus de Ilha Solteira, UNESP, and referred to the weights, in the above sequence of 2435, 1882, 1770, […]
