The project aimed to use and develop methodologies for expansion and training of multipliers in dairy farming to make reach the farmers products, processes and technologies already generated by Embrapa Dairy Cattle, thus contributing to the improvement of life in the countryside. The strategy was focused on partnership and cooperation among institutions for the development and use of innovative and traditional mechanisms to modernize the dairy production chain in Brazil. Technology transfer was

The identification of economically relevant genes might translate into considerable competitive advantage in markets more and more competitive and globalized. Genes which are associated with plague resistance, productivity increase and organoleptic attributes (which can be experienced by the senses such as color, taste and texture) appreciated by consumers are extremely important to the Brazilian stockbreeding market. There is a considerable number of bioinformatic tools that are available to th

raditional breeding has generated significant genetic gain over time. However, this strategy falls short of yielding information on the biological processes involved. Additionally, there are great difficulties for the genetic improvement of characteristics which are measured solely in one gender and/or late in the life span of the animal. With the development of DNA chips it became possible maximizing genetic gain by reducing the generation interval and increasing the intensity of selection. The

Brazil annually consumes 10.5 million tons of wheat, half of which is produced in the country, which entails an approximate outlay of 800 million dollars in wheat imports. The high cost of production and the difficulties in the obtention of cultivars with technological qualities that meet market requirements are among the main limiting factors for the Brazilian wheat production chain. Out of all the cultivars available from all Brazilian breeders, about two thirds were created from germplasm

This project aims to evaluate the productive potential of explored forest areas after one cutting cycle (30 years) and propose a forestry management system for the second cutting cycle in the Amazon. Technological ability and floristic variety of arboreal species will also be evaluated, in areas previously submitted to forest exploration 30 years ago (Tapajós National Forest). This project, headed by Oriental Amazon Embrapa in partnership with Federal Rural University of the Amazon, aims to deve ...
