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.

Productive performance of 29 genotypes of forage sorghum was evaluated by data of fresh matter, dry matter, plant height, initial flowering and plant survival. Heritability was also estimated for each trait, as well as the genotypic and phenotypic correlations among them. Such parameters are useful in genetic breeding programs by using direct and indirect selection. Randomized complete block design with three replications was used, in univariate analysis of variance. Genetic variability for all traits was observed and the genotype means […]
