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.

Heritability and genetic correlations coefficients in different levels of milk production and fat were evaluated in this study. A data set of 8,887 milk and fat records from 5,875 Holstein cows, sired by 1,125 bulls from 1984 to 2001 were used. Data were stratified in three levels according to the herd milk production, low (<6000 kg), medium (>6000 a <7500 kg) and high (>7500 kg). The (co)variance components were estimated by Restricted Maximum Likelihood Method including in an animal model […]
