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.

An experiment was carried out to evaluate morphophysiological aspects of Mombaçagrass growth after defoliation. Defoliation treatments were performed when the number of green completely expanded leaves on main tiller had stabilized around 3. Four defoliation treatments were imposed to the main tiller: T1 – no defoliation, T2 – total defoliation, T3 – removal of the last expanded leaf and T4 – removal of the two lowest expanded leaves. In all cases primary tillers were completely defoliated by cutting at 8 […]

The experiment was conducted from October 1997 to April 1998, to evaluate the nonstructural carbohydrates (SC), total nitrogen (TN) and roots weight, of the pasture of Coastcross – 1 (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers), under four levels of dry matter residue (DMR: 1978, 2130, 2545 and 3857 kg DM/ha), under continuous stocking (put and take). A completely randomized design, with two replications, was used. SC and TN contents were analysed on roots and stem base according to dry matter residue levels […]
