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.

In order to delineate efficient grazing systems it is important to periodically assess the herbage mass at the farm level. However, the knowledge concerning both, the number of samplings that should be performed and the quadrat (size and format) that should be used in these evaluations remains incomplete. In this context, three experiments were delineated to evaluate the effect of the number of samplings (varying from two to nine) and the dimension:format ratio of the quadrat (.25, 1.0, 2.0, and […]

In this study, seven elephant grass cultivars and seven Pearl Millet x elephant grass hybrids were evaluated under grazing conditions. The evaluated characteristics were dry matter yield (DMY), forage height (FH), stem diameter (SD), leaf blade/stem ratio (LB/S), leaves blade dry matter yield (LBDMY), basal tillers number (BTN), lateral tillers number (LTN) and lateral tillers/basal tiller ratio (LT/BT). The results showed higher DMY, LBDMY, FH, SD, and LB/S for the cultivars group, as compared to the hybrids group. The values […]
