| 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 |
| Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) is one of the most important natural processes in the planet. It is either conducted by bacteria in the soil or added by inoculants, which associate with plant roots to capture and transform nitrogen from the air. Plants cannot assimilate atmospheric nitrogen by themselves. Therefore, the presence of nitrogen fixing bacteria in the soil composition is important. A legume that has been understudied with regard to its interaction with nitrogen fixing bacteria is Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| 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 increase in productivity in dairy farming will be essential to ensure increases in the production and supply of milk and milk products to meet the world's growing population. Appropriate technologies should be developed and adopted to enable increased productivity in a sustainable way, ensuring greater milk production with reduced number of animals and farming area. The efficient use of dietary nutrients is one of the premises of sustainable production systems, since their inefficient use no Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| This project aims to contribute to improving the management, quality and biosafety of commercial egg-laying barns, through the implementation of best practices in production and in the training of technicians and farmers. It is aimed at smallholders and mid-sized family farmers whose egg production derives from hens raised in traditional aviaries (California-type layer cages).

| Water is an important natural resource for the competitiveness of Brazilian agriculture. Since Brazil is rich in this natural resource, to preserve it and keep it in quantity and quality is strategic. Such a competency demands water efficiency, which is the relationship between the amount of yielded products and the amount of water used for such a production. This project evaluates the performance of water indicators from milk pasture-based and confinement-based production systems and of nutriti Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The Compost Barn system has the purpose of reducing costs in the implementation and maintenance of animal facilities, improving herd production and sanitary indices, and enabling the correct use of dairy farming organic waste (feces and urine). The system consists of a large covered space for the cows to rest. The floor is covered with sawdust, wood cutting scraps and composted manure. The main objective of Compost Barn is to ensure comfort to the animals and a dry place for them to stay during Status: Completed Start date: Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| 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 palm oil tree is, among the oilseeds, the most productive one, being able to reach an annual production of 10 tons/hectare in favorable conditions. The oil has many uses in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and is also considered one of the best oils to produce biodiesel. In 2010, worldwide production of palm oil, cultivated in 14,99 million hectares, was of 45,09 million tons, while the production of soy oil, cultivated in 102,38 million hectares, was of 39,76 million tons.
