| 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: 01/07/2008 |
| 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: 01/07/2008 |
| 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.

| 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: 01/04/2007 |
| Brazilian livestock farming is predominantly based on the use of pastures, since most of the country has soil and climate conditions favorable for growing forage crops and because this is the most economical way of feeding livestock. Tropical forages occupy most of the cultivated pasture areas, with predominance of the species Brachiaria brizantha and Panicum maximum, which together account for more than 90% of Brazilian tropical pasture areas. However, growing these forage species is hampered i Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2021 |

The CUSTOSUINO-MT project is the result of technical cooperation between Embrapa Swine and Poultry and the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea) to implement a system for monitoring pig production costs in Mato Grosso to subsidize private agents and the formulation of public policies for the supply chain. The activities developed involve the training of technicians and the survey of technical production coefficients and prices of inputs and factors of production. Qua ...Status: Completed Start date: 01/03/2020 |
| 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: 01/08/2021 |
| We can define Rural Cultural Heritage as a set of material and immaterial records arising from the practices, customs and production initiatives that have been historically and geographically established in rural areas. The "Rural Cultural Heritage in São Paulo: A Valuable Place for Research, Education and Tourism" project aimed at providing a set of management, conservation and dissemination tools and methodologies for those responsible for rural cultural heritage, including both owners and the ...

| The dairy activity in Brazil has undergone extensive changes. If, on the one hand, the industry tends more and more to value items associated with the quality of milk, such as fat, protein, total milk solids, etc., the prices paid or the incentives applied are arbitrary or defined based upon the financial return arising from one unit of the product. On the other hand, the dairy farmer does not know if the received incentive value, when it exists, is interesting from the point of view of returnin Status: Completed Start date: 01/07/2008 |
| 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: 01/12/2015 |
