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 swine stress gene (hal gene) in recessive homozygosis (nn) is associated with the occurrence of the Porcine Stress Syndrome (PSS) and with the occurrence of pale, soft and exudative pork (PSE). In heterozygosis (Nn) it is related to low quality of carcass, but higher carcass weight. This study has characterized the genotype of hal gene by DNA-testing, obtained by alkaline extraction from a single hair root, in a sample of 160 swines. These animals were slaughtered and carcass traits […]
