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.

Four buffaloes and four cattle rumen fistulated were used to study the effects of different levels of neutral detergent fiber in the diet on the rumen fermentation characteristics. Ammonia concentration, volatile fatty acids (VFA) production (acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid) and pH in the ruminal fluid were evaluated. The animals were allotted to two latin square experimental design (4×4) in a 4×2 factorial arrangement with four increasing levels of NDF in the DM (54, 60, 66 and 72%) […]

The objective of this trial was to evaluate the in vitro ammonia (N-NH3) production in fermentation of diets with different protein sources (dry yeast, urea and cottonseed meal) used for ruminants diets. The data relative to the N-NH3 production measured in the first hour of incubation, showed differences between diets with cottonseed meal and dry yeast, compared with diets with urea, with values of 7.52; 8.66; and 29.84 mg N-NH3/100 mL of ruminal fluid, respectively. The same pattern was observed […]
