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 this work was to evaluate the effect of protein supplements with three degradability levels (high-70%, medium-50% and low-30%) at three levels (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 kg/day) on the ruminal pH, N-NH3 and DM, CP, NDF degradability of forage fed steers grazing Brachiaria brizantha cv. Maradu, during the dry season. The experiment design was a randomized complete block with three replications (grazing periods) and the supplement treatments were arranged in a factorial 3×3. Ten rumen-fistuled steers with 354 kg […]

The objective this work was to evaluate the effect of protein supplements varying in ruminal degradabilities (high-75%, medium-55% and low-35%) fed at three levels (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 kg/day) on ruminal pH, N-NH3 and NDF degradability of forage, with steers grazing Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu during rainy season. The experiment design was a randomized complete block with three replications (grazing periods) and the supplemented treatments were arranged in a factorial 3 x 3. Ten rumen-fistuled crossbred steers with 463 kg […]
