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 objectives of this study were to estimate phenotypic and genetic parameters for growth traits of meat quails. A total of 1022 birds were housed, identified and individually weighted at 7 days (PES7); 14 days (PES14); 28 days (PES28) and at 42 days (PES42). Covariance components and genetic parameters were estimated by Bayesian procedures using Gibbs sampling with MTGSAM software. Genetic correlations between PES7 and PES14, PES28, and PES42 were respectively 0.73, 0.52 and 0.55 and between PES14 and PES28 […]
