Fatty link to fertility

Feeding Fatty Acids for Fertility?

The essentiality of certain amino acids and certain fatty acids was established for growing rats at about the same time. W.C. Rose at the University of Illinois in the early 1930’s identified 10 essential dietary amino acids for rats. Soon thereafter, these same essential dietary amino acids were confirmed experimentally in growing nonruminant livestock. The fatty acids, linoleic acid (C18:2) a...

Dietary Fatty Acids and Dairy Cow Fertility

High Development and Fertility: Fertility at Older Reproductive Ages and Gender Equality Explain the Positive Link

A fundamental switch in the fertility—development relationship has occurred so that among highly developed countries, further socioeconomic development may reverse the declining fertility trend. Here we shed light on the mechanisms underlying this reversal by analyzing the links between development and age and cohort patterns of fertility, as well as the role of gender equality. Using data from...

Mechanisms affecting the link between nuptiality and fertility: Tanzania, 1973

The analytical framework proposed by Davis and Blake (1956) divides the process of reproduction into three elements: (i) exposure to the risk of pregnancy, (ii) the ability to conceive and (iii) successful gestation. This paper is concerned with the first element. Data from the 1973 National Demographic Survey of Tanzania (NDS) are used to investigate the role of marriage behavior in determinin...
