The promotion of proper infant feeding practices and the improvement of environmental sanitation have been two important strategies in the effort to reduce diarrhoeal morbidity among infants. Breast-feeding protects infants by decreasing their exposure to water- and foodborne pathogens and by improving their resistance to infection; good sanitation isolates faecal material from the human enviro...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of daily phase feeding (DP) and sequential (SEQ) on behavior, performance, body composition growing-finishing pigs. Sixty barrows at 29.7 ± 2.8 kg weight (BW) were assigned one four treatments: DP with a blended proportion feeds A (high nutrient density) B (low was adjusted match 100 % amino acid (AA) diet recommendations (DP100); negative treatment, whi...

The sequential changes in intestinal lactase activity of 40 neonates were measured indirectly from the differential uptake and excretion of lactose and the non-metabolisable disaccharide lactulose contained in formula feeds. A daily decline in urinary lactose:lactulose excretion ratios, reflecting a rise in intestinal lactase activity, followed formula feeding. Percentage decline was related di...

The effects of dietary phénobarbital on hepatocarcinogenesis in rats fed 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) were studied. The simultaneous feeding of AAF and phénobarbital reduced the hepatocarcinogenic effects of AAF. In contrast, the sequential feeding of AAF and phénobarbital resulted in a significant increase in the incidence of hepatomas. No ill effects were observed in rats fed phénobarbital...

Preventing leg disorders in broilers, without changing their body weight at slaughter age and their rearing time is a challenge for poultry production. The method of prevention we studied consisted in alternating the distribution of different diets. This kind of diet schedule is called “sequential feeding”. The alternation of poorand rich-lysine diets was used in order to reduce early growth an...

Abstract The responsive feeding style has been researched to date using indirect techniques, mainly in family contexts. This supports children’s capacity for self-regulation, which is why the present study aims directly and systematically observe method a school context, focusing specifically on behaviour of two educators working at Emmi Pikler Nursery School during breakfast time with differen...

background: prelacteal feeding is an underestimated problem in a developing country like india, where infant mortality rate is quite high. the present study tried to find out the factors determining prelacteal feeding in rural areas of north india. methods: a crosssectional study was conducted among recently delivered women of rural uttar pradesh, india. multistage random sampling was used for ...
