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 experiment was to study the effects of environmental temperature and feeding restriction programs on performance, carcass and noble cuttings yields and fat, water and protein contents of the carcass, and also the liver glycogen content of broiler chickens under different environmental conditions. A completely randomized block experimental design, in a 5 x 2 (feeding program versus sex) factorial arrangement with two replicates within each environmental and 14 birds per experimental plot, was used. At 42 days […]

The objective of this work was to evaluate, at 42 days of age, the productivity and economic performance, and the carcass and special cuts yield, in broiler chickens allotted to different quantitative feeding restriction programs applied in early age. A completely randomized design was used, in a 5 x 2 (feeding restriction program versus sex) factorial arrangement and five replicates with 20 birds per experimental unit. Feed intake and weight gain were reduced by the feed restriction programs, but feed: […]
