| The transfer of technology is an integral and inseparable part of Innovation. It is critical to transform the innovation assets generated by scientific research into real benefits - products, processes and services - for producers and society as a whole. In the field of animal reproduction, TT tools have been instrumental in democratizing access to advances in the use of selected germplasm reproductive biotechnologies, contributing to the development of animal breeding programs. This project aim Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The Brazil Nut Tree, also known as Pará's Nut Tree or Amazonia's Nut Tree ( Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl., Lecythidaceae), is one of the most exuberant trees of the Amazonian Forest. It produces woody fruits (husks), which have from 10 to 25 seeds (almonds), that can be consumed in natura or industrialized, rich in proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and selenium. In Brazil, the largest producers of Brazil Nut are the stateds of Pará, Amazonas, Acre and Rondônia. This nut's se ... Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| The emission increase of greenhouse effect gases and the high petroleum prices have elevated the demand for renewable fuels. For diesel, the most used fuel in the country, the main option has been the use of vegetable oil and animal fat by-products. However, there are two major problems regarding the production of vegetal oils which could hinder the use of these products as fuel: the quality and the quantity of oils produced. Of all the cultivated species, only the palm oil has the needed produc Status: Completed Start date: Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| With 200 million head, Brazil is the largest world producer of cattle. However, national beef cattle farming is characterized by low productivity and a large variation in beef quality. This second aspect can be justified by the large Zebu fraction found in the genetic base of our herds. Zebu breeds normally present less soft beef with lower marbling when compared with taurine breeds, making the appraisal of this meat difficult in international markets. Therefore, the development of genotypes tha Status: Completed Start date: Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| Brazil is now a world reference in the area of animal breeding biotechnology, accounting for 25 to 30% of the total number of embryos transferred worldwide. Reproductive biotechnology is a key element in genetic breeding programs, but it is necessary to invest in the creation of a solid and well-built database that supports decision-making for national livestock.

| The Showcase of Dairy Technologies was assembled in the headquarters of Embrapa Dairy Cattle, located in the following address: Rua Eugênio do Nascimento, 610, bairro Dom Bosco, Juiz de For a MG. With an area of 81 m2, it uses modern, interactive, and didactic resources such as games, illustrated panels and videos. Its purpose is to promote the teaching of science, technology and innovation by means of the dairy agro-industrial chain in a clear and objective way. The Showcase is the representati ...

| This work's proposal is to develop a pilot project focused on carrying out two objectives that target the corporative environment. The first is to build for the visually impaired a website that will allow them to access Embrapa's findings in the fields of science, technology and innovation. The second aims to adapt the technologies into specific material that would allow these persons' interaction with Embrapa's science and technology research findings in key places such as fairs, exhibitions or Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| The Network on Nanotechnology applied to Agribusiness was implemented in 2006 and has already completed two cycles as a Network Project. The new cycle intends to advance in the existing knowledge and actions, contributing to the understanding of the processes of upscaling the production of nanoproducts, thus meeting the need to evaluate, quantify and estimate the ability to produce nanomaterials that have been successfully produced in lab activities, whose processes need to be adequately planned Status: Completed Start date: Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| In recent years, distance learning via the internet has become an important means of professional qualification, especially in Brazil, a country of continental dimensions. Whereas milk production is scattered throughout the national territory, distance learning offers the opportunity to bring information to professionals across the country. To this end, this project included the design, offering and accomplishment of the first distance learning courses of Embrapa Dairy Cattle, namely: "Sampling, ...
