| Concentrated feeds play an important role in milk production, both from the nutritional as the economic aspects, especially for animal production. The behavior of corn and soybean meal prices, for instance, have an important weight in the formation of milk production costs and consequently on the profitability of dairy farming. The current agricultural markets have shown a rise in prices of these grain-based brans. Milk production in Minas Gerais appears as one of the most important activities f Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Embrapa Swine and Poultry has developed production cost surveys and studies since the late 1980s, initially for swine and, since the 1990s, for broiler chicken. The aim of the project "Cost of Compliance" is to comparatively access the costs that farmers face to adjust to environmental legislation, and legislation on food security and animal wellfare, in order to project impact on competitiveness.

| What is the cost of producing one liter of milk in Brazil? Any answer between R$ 0.10 and R$ 1.70 is true. But, also, it is not essentially true. This occurs for two major reasons, both resulting from a lack of standardization. The first reason is that there is an immense amount of production systems in Brazil, from the South to the North. Therefore, in Brazil, rural properties are not standardized, as in Europe, the USA, Canada and Oceania. Each farm is a farm. The second reason is that there i Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| The process of organic waste biodigestion is quite old, as the first unit was installed in Bombay, India, in 1819; in Australia, a company has produced and industrialized methane from sewage since 1911. China has 4.5 million biodigesters that produce gas and organic fertilizer, the main role of which is sanitation in rural areas. However, different aspects related to biodigesters are still lacking. This work aimed at studying and improving a biodigester system, and its general goal was the devel Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| The safe use of nanomaterials is a set of actions to prevent, minimize or eliminate risks to human, animal or environmental health, during the course of research, production, technological development, providing services and trade of nanomaterials. Among global efforts to standardize safety tests, the European consortium NanoReg stands out in addressing international issues regarding regulation in nanotechnology. Recently, the Interministerial Committee for Nanotechnology (CIN) approved the acce Status: Completed Start date: Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The project QUALIMICRO - Implementation and Monitoring of Quality Systems in Embrapa's Microbial Collections aims to implement the corporate quality requirements in 21 collections of microorganisms from 18 research units of the Company located in several Brazilian states.

| Brazil is the fifth largest producer of milk in the world with 35 billion liters produced in 2015. However, Brazilian dairy farmers still need improve milk quality and reduce production costs. One of the major limiting factors to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of milk production in Brazil is the management of dairy farms. In this context, Embrapa Gado de Leite developed, in partnership with the Central Cooperative of Rural Producers of Minas Gerais -(Cooperativa Central dos Produtor Status: Completed Start date: Tue May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2018 |

| Surveys carried out by Emater-MG (Corporation of Technical Assistance and Rural Extension of the State of Minas Gerais0) estimate that in the State of Minas Gerais there are approximately 30 thousand artisanal cheese producers. Recent studies in Alagoa-MG and neighboring municipalities characterized the region's milk and cheese production systems in terms of environment (climate, relief, water, soil, etc.) and aspects related to social (producers), microbiological (water, milk, yeast, brine and Status: Completed Start date: Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2021 |

The project addresses the limited supply of public and private technical assistance and rural extension in view of the large number of agricultural producers scattered throughout the national territory. Its general objective is to expand the access to quality technical assistance services by small and family-based producers of eggs and pigs, based on the development of easy-to-use digital tools. The project partners are Embrapa Swine and Poultry and Maneje Bem, a technology-based company that ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2020 |
