Dietary fat intake in pregnancy and lactation affects pregnancy outcomes and child growth, development and health. The European Commission charged the research project PERILIP, jointly with the Early Nutrition Programming Project, to develop recommendations on dietary fat intake in pregnancy and lactation. Literature reviews were performed and a consensus conference held with international expe...

the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of feeding iron-deficient diet during pregnancy and lactation on maternal rats. a total number of 64 rats were divided into 4 groups (pregnant), (non pregnant), (lactating) and (non lactating) with 16 animals in each group. parameters used to evaluate the effects of dietary iron deficiency on the maternal animals were: iron contents of live...

The article presents the data on effect of Lamarin Saldonum additive reproductive function and milk productivity cows when used in different periods: 30 days 60 before calving (groups S1 S2), beginning from day (group S3) compared with control C4). Highly productive black white Holstein breed were experiment. was fed at a dose 0.4 g per 1 kg live weight during days. It found that S2 group had s...

the objective of this study was to estimates the genetic and environmental components for the lactation curve parameters, milk yield, age at first calving (afc), calving interval (ci) and somatic cell count (scc) in iranian holstein cows. the dataset consisted of 210625 test day records from 25883 cows with milk yield in the first parity recorded from july 2002 to september 2007 in a total of 9...

BACKGROUND The United States Preventive Services Task Force found that effective interventions for extending breastfeeding duration are generally begun during the prenatal period, provide ongoing support for patients and combine information with face-to-face guidance. A 2001 literature review had similar findings but also found that employing a lactation consultant in the clinical setting may i...

the genetic parameters for milk production and milk fat traits for first to third parities were estimated using single, multi trait and repeatability models. the genetic parameters for test day milk records were also estimated using random regression model. the test day records and 305 day milk records of 17055 cows from 10 herds collected between years 1996-2007 in khorasan razavi province wer...

We first sought to clarify the effects of discounted rate, survival rate, and lactation persistency as a component trait of the selection index on net merit, defined as the first five lactation milks and herd life (HL) weighted by 1 and 0.389 (currently used in Japan), respectively, in units of genetic standard deviation. Survival rate increased the relative economic importance of later lactati...

INTRODUCTION During lactation abundant calcium is lost from the mother as a result of the amount of breast milk produced. Lactation leads to transient fragility, with some women experiencing even fragility fractures, but nearly all of these women subsequently undergo a large increase in bone mineral density (BMD), confirming that the BMD must have declined during lactation but it increases afte...
