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 objectives of this study were to obtain estimates of heritability and genetic, phenotypic and environmental correlations for average daily gains from birth to weaning (DGBW), from weaning to 12 months (DGW12), from 12 to 18 months (DG1218) and from 18 to 24 months (DG1824) of age, and to estimate the principal components for these growth traits in Canchim cattle. The data were analyzed by the least square method. The heritability estimates were 0.39± 0.07 (DGBW), 0.12±0.04 (DGW12), 0.20±0.05 (DG1218) […]
