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 sheep behavior over 24 hours in Tanzania grass irrigated pastures under four supplementation levels (0.0; 0.6; 1.2 and 1.8% LW) was evaluated in this work. A complete randomized design with six replicates (sheep) was used. The percentage of total time under shade, grazing, ruminating, in “other activities”, in idleness, the number of supplement/salt ingestions, defecations, urinations, water ingestion and bite rate were estimated, splitting the day in eight periods of three hours (from 5 to 8 a.m.; 8 to […]

The objectives of this experiment were to determine the apparent absorption, to estimate the endogenous fecal losses and the true absorption of Mg and to determine the ad libitum drinking water ingestion and the Mg serum concentration for Anglonubian (AN) and Saanen (SN) goat breeds. Twelve kids, six of each breed, with average 19.8 kg LW, were used. Semipurified diets (low Mg content) based on cracked rice, corn gluten meal and cellulose were supplemented with MgO to obtain the levels […]
