The Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia (SBZ), founded on 26 July 1951, in Piracicaba, São Paulo, is a nonprofit association.

The Society, which congregates professionals related to the Animal Science area, has been meeting since 1972. The Annual Meeting of the SBZ is a scientific event in which the most recent advances in the area of Animal Science are presented.

The SBZ monthly publishes the Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia (RBZ) and it is aimed at disseminating original unpublished scientific works, resulting from researches linked to the areas of Aquaculture; Forage; Animal Breeding and Genetics, Reproduction; Nutrition of Ruminants and Non-Ruminants; Animal Production Systems, and Agribusiness.

In 1972 it was published the first issue of Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia.
