| The presence of Staphylococcus spp. in milk and milk products is a concern for dairy farmers, industry and government agencies responsible for public health. Because these microorganisms are important pathogens of mastitis, the udder of the infected animal is a major source of contamination of raw milk. S. aureus is the species most frequently associated with mastitis and outbreaks or cases of food poisoning. Other species of Staphylococcus have also been associated, but Status: Completed Start date: Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| This project aims to propose viable technological alternatives for a competitive stockbreeding practice, making responsible use of the environment and regional resources and preserving the native flora and fauna of the Cerrado, Amazon and Pantanal. The beef cattle industry has an expressive social and economical role, being responsible for more than 6 million jobs and contributing with more than US$3 billion in the country's exportation activities. The Cerrado is currently the most important reg Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |

Legislation requirements and consumer demands increasingly push for food safety and quality assurances. Nowadays, generally speaking, quality indicators and contaminants are individually determined in specialized laboratories, which requires long procedures and expensive reagents and makes the analysis of large volumes of samples impracticable. The quick obtainment of analysis results to identify the presence of contaminants and characterize the technological suitability of grains and derivat ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The cultivation of winter forage crops such as Italian ryegrass ( Lolium multiflorum) and velvet grass ( Holcus lanatus) is of extreme importance for increasing the productivity and efficiency of livestock production in the South Region and part of the Southeast Region of Brazil. However, there are few cultivars for use by farmers. The problem focused in this project is the lack of improved cultivars of temperate forage grasses, productive and adapted to the Brazilian conditions. T ...

| Livestock is one of the main highlights of Brazilian agribusiness. In recent years, issues related to food safety, energy, and environmental security have been the subject of discussions. In this scenario, the increase in demand for food and at the same time the pressure of society and importing countries for sustainable production systems, which requires a paradigm shift in agricultural production systems. In this context of rapid change, increasing the livestock efficiency is essential to ensu Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| Spectroscopy, which is always associated with chemometrics, is a versatile technique that is applied in several areas of science. It is fast, non-destructive, low-cost and, in addition, “clean”, requiring few or no reagents. The latter factor aligns the tool with green chemistry.

One of analytical techniques that enables precise chemical analyzes with speed, low cost and little sample manipulation is near-infrared spectroscopy - NIRS. The interest in NIR spectroscopy has grown remarkably and this technique has been recognized as a powerful tool for quantitative and qualitative analysis of chemical and physical parameters. Besides these features, the methodologies based on NIR spectroscopy have the following inherent properties: 1) allows simultaneous analysis of multi ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Mato Grosso state has great potential for fruit production, considering the edaphoclimatic aspects of the region, domestic demand and the significant number of small farms. This project aims to establish a process for continued training of technicians aimed at promoting the development of fruit production in the state of Mato Grosso.
