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 propose and validate a model to estimate the apparently digestible fraction of crude protein (CP) of cattle diets. The theoretical framework for model development was based on true digestibility coefficient and metabolic fecal contribution. The estimation of both parameters was done by using the Lucas test. The dataset for model building was composed by 39 and 54 means from 10 experiments with lactating cows and 23 experiments with growing and finishing cattle, respectively. […]

The objective of this study was to develop and validate a model to estimate the EE apparently digestible fraction from different cattle diets. True digestibility coefficients and metabolic fecal contribution were the main parameters fitted to the model. The estimation method for both parameters was based on the Lucas test. The dataset used to build the model contained 48 and 60 experimental means for lactating cows and growing and finishing cattle, respectively. Data were taken from 24 experiments (12 experiments […]
