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 objective of this study was to evaluate selective mating using distribution of extremes, among other mating strategies, on its ability to decrease the endogamy and the loss of genetic variability. The genetic simulation system (Genesys) was used to simulate two genomes (each one with a single characteristic whose distinction was the value of heritability) and the base and original populations. Each initial population was submitted to assisted selection by markers for ten consecutive generations. For evaluation of strategies, the […]

Different levels of genomic significance were used in assisted selection by markers to estimate the phenotypic value, the number of markers used in the selection and the percentage of favorable and unfavorable alleles fixed in a quantitative characteristic. A comparison among the levels 0.5; 1; 2; 4; 6; 8; 10; 12; 14; 16; 18 and 20 was done by using the computer system of gene simulation (GENESYS), used for simulation of a genome consisted of a quantitative character with heritability […]
