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 polymorphism of the growth hormone gene (bGH) was studied in 211 Nellore pure breed bovine males to estimate the genotype and allelic frequencies and possible associations of the gene with weight traits. For this study, body weight data were collected at birth, weaning and monthly from 10 to 16 months of age. Additionally, weight gains from birth to weaning and weaning to 16 months of age were calculated. DNA was extracted from blood samples and the animals genotyped for […]

Informations of 7986 births of animals from a Nellore cattle herd, from 1960 to 1993, were used to estimate (co) variance components, heritabilities and genetic correlations of weaning weight (W240), yearling weight (W365), age at first calving (AFC), first calving interval (CI1), reproductive efficiency (RE), longevity (LONG), calculated as years of permanence of cow in herd and weaning weight of the first calf of cow (W240C). The analysis were performed using the MTDFREML software, estimating the (co) variance components by […]

The effects of genetic and environmental factors on reproductive traits, from 475 records of calving interval (CI) and 401 of real fertility (RF) of Nellore cows reared at Santa Inês county, Maranhão State, in pasture grazing system with supplementation in the dry season, from 1980 to 1994, were studied. The data were analyzed by means of linear models, which included the sire effect (random effects), month and year of the last and the actual calving, calving number and sex of […]
