The Cerrado is the second largest Brazilian biome and is considered one of the main biodiversity reserves on the planet that need to be conserved. For a rational and sustainable exploitation of this natural wealth, it is necessary to get to know it beforehand. A possible approach, from the point of view of the elaboration of products from Cerrado plants, is the use of aromatic species to obtain essential oils and extracts for application in the perfume and cosmetic industries. The main goal of t Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |

The general objective is to develop and adapt methods and protocols that make the preservation of germplasm (gametes and embryos) of different species of domestic animals of economic interest more efficient and safe. To do so, it has five action plans, ranging from the search for animal welfare indicators to estimate seminal quality to advanced transcriptome and proteome techniques to identify molecular changes that affect the response to cryopreservation. They are: PA1 (management), PA2 (animal Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
This project aims to evaluate the productive potential of explored forest areas after one cutting cycle (30 years) and propose a forestry management system for the second cutting cycle in the Amazon. Technological ability and floristic variety of arboreal species will also be evaluated, in areas previously submitted to forest exploration 30 years ago (Tapajós National Forest). This project, headed by Oriental Amazon Embrapa in partnership with Federal Rural University of the Amazon, aims to deve ... Status: Completed Start date: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
The successful dairy breeding programs of the Zebu Gyr and Guzera breeds, conducted in close and consolidated partnership with the Gyr and Guzera Breeders' Associations, counted over the years on the indispensable collaboration of crossbred herds for carrying out the progeny and milk control tests. These herds are characterized by pasture-based milk production, with low inputs and technologies, and the practice of crossbreeding. The crosses practiced, however, are the result of unplanned mating, Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
Among the existing grass as alternatives to pasture-based production, the genus Cynodon (stargrass and bermudagrass) has advantages such as high productivity and forage quality, responsiveness to fertilization, resistance to cattle trampling, adaptability to a wide range of soil and climate conditions, and good tolerance to waterlogging and low temperatures. These factors distinguish Cynodon from other grasses predominant in tropical conditions and justify considering such specie Status: Completed Start date: Sun Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
The artisanal cheese production stands out as an important activity for income generation of family farmers in different regions of the country, such as the Coalho Cheese produced in the Northeast, the Colonial Cheese in the South and, more specifically, the Minas Artesanais cheese types, such as Canastra and Serro, produced in the State of Minas Gerais. However, among the main obstacles related to production and marketing in the formal market, stands the possibility (or not) to reconcile legal Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
The culture of Palm Tree Oil ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) has great socio-economic importance in the state of Pará, the country's largest producer. This culture has risen the growth potential in Brazil, by its oil demand, great productivity and competitiveness when compared to other cultures, availability of altered areas prone to offer favorable soil and weather conditions, generate jobs and income, and protect the soil due to its perennial character. However, the fatal yellowing of palm o ... Status: Completed Start date: Wed Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
The use of vegetable fibers as reinforcement in polymeric matrices has been an increasing demand of the industry, mainly because the whole environmental issue. The search for renewable sources, as well as the search for biodegradable products has been increasing in recent years. Pineapple fiber, more precisely from Curauá (Ananas comousus var. Erectifolius), is already being used to replace fiberglass in reinforcing polymer composites, with applications in the automotive industry. However, other ...
