Co-op Study Pre-Postharvest Technology -in Thailand-

收获后损失是指产品在收获后发生的任何数量或质量变化，这种变化妨碍或改变了其预期用途或降低了其价值。本研究主要针对农产品采后损失、采前或采后贮藏管理与品质保存、农药残留问题、畜牧业饲料等方面进行研究，研究课题为以下五个大学合作研究项目：1.重点研究了收获制度、采后生理学原理、农产品贮藏.水稻的机械化栽培技术，和粮食品质。3.立即处理新鲜收获的粮食是必不可少的，以防止质量恶化，由于霉菌的发展。收获后的处理可确保谷物的短期和长期保存，包括密封储存，化学处理，冷却和干燥。由于粮食干燥是最普遍的粮食保存方法，我们重点关注这一点。热带地区的牲畜有消瘦的趋势，这是由于饲料营养不足造成的。要提高畜牧业生产，需要优质的饲用价值高的牧草.我们在泰国进行了关于农业领域环境污染的研究。我们派遣和邀请了两所大学各14名研究人员。他们都成功地交换了学术意见和合作实地研究。这些经验将有助于他们未来的研究。

A postharvest loss is any change in the quantity or quality of a product after harvest that prevents or alters its intended use or decreases its value. We made researches into postharvest losses, storage, management and quality preservation of agricultural products before or after harvest, problem of residual agricultural chemicals, and animal feeds for stockbreeding.The research topic are the following five subjects by the University to University Cooperative Research Project.1. We focused on the harvesting system, the principles governing postharvest physiology, agricultural product storage.2. The cultivation techniques of rice by mechanization, and grain quality.3.Immediate treatment of the freshly harvested grain is essential to prevent quality deterioration due to mold development. Postharvest treatments are available to ensure short- and long-term preservation of grains, including sealed storage, chemical treatment, chilling, and drying. As drying of grain is the most wnidely practiced grain-preservation method, we focused this point.4. Livestock in tropical area has a tendency to be thin, which is caused by low nutrient feeds. To increase livestock production, it requires good forages that having high feeding values.5. We carried out about environmental pollution in agricultural fields at Thailand.We sent and invited 14 researchers each between two universities. All of them exchanged academic views and cooperative field research successfully. The experience will improve their future research.
