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 data used in this study are from the first five lactations of 1,406 cows of the Mantiqueira Ecotype, daughters of 113 sires, with calving from 1952 to 1997. The total milk yield (PL), fat production (PG), lactation period (DL), and days dry (PS) were obtained from NPZGJRA/IZ/APTA/SAA. Based on the genetic values predictions, for each studied feature selection differentials and genetic trends were estimated though four selection paths of selection: bulls to breed bulls (SB), cows to breed bulls […]

The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic parameters, product-moment and rank correlations between breeding values, and also correlated responses for reproductive traits using bivariate analysis of total milk production (PL) and the age at the first calving (IPP), or calving intervals (IDP), or days open (PSERV). Records from the NPZGJRA/IZ/APTA/SAA-SSP breeding program of the first five lactations of 1406 cows of Mantiqueira ecotype; daughters of 113 sires, with calvings from 1952 to 1997 were used. The MTDFREML […]
