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.

The characterization of alternative poultry production systems and its value chain is going to allow the identification of potential threats that affect the survival and productivity of fowl populations and provide opportunities for interventions in such systems.

This project is going to study alternative poultry production systems in the entire value chain from production to trade, and the diversity of the flocks in selected regions of Ethiopia. Moreover, it will identify the main chal ...

Brazilian pig production has increased its production in recent years, placing Brazil among the world's largest animal protein producers. This increase was mainly due to technological advances, such as artificial insemination. Artificial insemination is widely used in farm animals for genetic material dissemination. Data points out that more than 95% of sows are inseminated in Brazilian pig production. This biotechnology can also be a biosecurity tool that keeps production systems sanitary close

The adoption of intensive pig farming systems brought economies of scale, greater productivity and logistic gains, but it increased the incidence of infections and animal stress levels, resulting in bouts of infectious diseases and making the use of antimicrobials in subtherapeutic or preventive doses necessary to promote growth and to mitigate the occurrence of diseases.

However, the rise of viral infections in recent years, the increase in bacteria that are resistant to antimicrobials ...

Salmonella spp. is a bacterial genus subject to constant health surveillance in poultry products' production and commercialization. Its presence may imply that meat and meat products cannot be commercialized, since it affects both slaughter animals and consumers' health. Traditional methods of isolation and identification of Salmonella spp. require at least five days for conclusive results. As an additional factor, changes in the bacterial cell surface's antigen expression can lead to false-nega

As a World Health Organization and Codex Alimentarius member, Brazil needs to respond to global calls to improve human health and food production. At the heart of this debate is the interdisciplinary challenge of controlling resistance to antimicrobials. In addition to measures aimed at those focusing on human health, advances are also needed in the agricultural sector, both in knowledge and in immediate measures for rational use of antimicrobials and control of resistance spread. In this sense,
