| In Brazil, milk production is practiced by more than one million farmers, mostly smallholders, who rely primarily on pastures and grass plantations for green chop as the most important feeding sources for their herds. One of the main demands of the farmers refers to improved forage cultivars for cutting and grazing that can meet the nutritional needs of herds throughout the year. Elephantgrass stands out as a potential fodder resource due to its high production of biomass, superior nutritional q Status: Completed Start date: Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
| In intensive milk production systems, planning roughage supplementation is critical to the success of the activity. In Brazil the main forage conservation strategy is ensilage, in which maize is the main crop used, due to its high ensilability and silage nutritive value. However, the oscillation of input prices (fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, etc.) has increased the production costs of such crop, a fact that has been pointed out by farmers as a barrier for the economic viability of the producti Status: Completed Start date: Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
| 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 International Cooperation Project – under the aegis of the Africa-Brazil Marketplace – developed in Ghana in partnership with Embrapa Mid-North, proposed the formulation of two products from the cashew pseudofruit: cashew powder (dehydrated through spray drying) to be reconstituted as fruit juice and breakfast cereal with enriched dehydrated cashew. The results indicated that the enriched cashew cereal had good acceptance among Ghanaian consumers. There were tests to obtain spray dried powd Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

This project aims to develop an open access digital platform in which data from Federal Government social programs focusing on farmers are available for crossings and spatial visualization. The tool was requested by the National Secretariat for Food and Nutritional Security of the former Ministry of Social Development (Sesan / MDS), and consists of a geoweb with information that allows the elaboration of coverage maps for five social programs: Food Acquisition (PAA), Promotion of Rural Produc ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
| The identification of animals with more efficiency in feed utilization is one of the alternatives to overcome the challenges as increased production costs, increased consumer awareness regarding food safety, animal welfare and environmental impacts of the agriculture and livestock. As feeding expenses account for the main cost of livestock activity, differences among animals in converting diet to beef and milk are of great relevance. Animals that use feed more efficiently need to consume less to Status: Completed Start date: Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
| Agroforestry systems (AFS) combine planting trees with agricultural crops or animal husbandry and are considered suitable production systems for the Amazon region because they reconcile agricultural production with the conservation of natural resources, which is a great challenge today.
