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.

It was evaluated the characteristics of the biomass of Tanzania grass under three defoliation frequencies (85, 95 and 97% interception of the photosynthetically active radiation – IPAR) and two post-grazing residue (residual leaf area index of 1.0 and 1.8) in a complete randomized design in a 3 × 2 factorial scheme with four replications. The longest resting period was observed for the lowest post-grazing residue and frequency of 97% of IPAR. A high height as well as a higher leaf […]
