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 work was to evaluate nutrient production and extraction of different forages. Four crops were implanted: corn, Sudan sorghum, forage sorghum and sunflower in an experimental design in randomized blocks, with four treatments and five repetitions. Sunflower and Sudan sorghum had the highest green matter production, while corn and sorghum forages excelled over the other crops for dry matter production. The highest values of fibrous fraction were observed for Sudam sorghum. Sunflower crop extracted the highest amount of calcium, potassium and magnesium, while Sudan sorghum showed the highest phosphorus extraction. Extraction of nitrogen and sodium was not different among crops. Corn is the best forage for silage because it has the highest ear proportion in relation to the rest of the plant.
