This study investigated the effects of different levels of prebiotic and peptide supplementations on growth performance, apparent digestibility of nutrients and fecal score in suckling Zell lambs. A completely randomized experiment was designed with a factorial arrangement of 3×2 containing 36 male suckling Zell lambs at the age of 10 days and with a mean weight of 4.4±0.33 kg for 70 days. The ...

Background: Fetal hyperinsulinemia correlated with large birth weight and impaired glucose tolerance test and obesity in second decades of life. In this study we compared the correlation between fetal insulin production (as estimated by amniotic fluid (AF) C-peptide concentration) and AF insulin with macrosomia (as estimated by neonatal birth weight 4000 gr).Methods: Thirty eight neonates were...
