by using termites to coaxing cubs into eating an artificial diet. For cubs, creep feeding during pre - weaning lactation is a common husbandry practice because it increases weaning weight of cubs and leads ...
Abstract Breast cancer has strong developmental origins and maternal nutrition composition may influence later - life breast cancer risk in the offspring. Our study focused on a bioactive dietary ...
that survive the first few days of life are at increased risk of later neurological, respiratory, intestinal, and circulatory disorders during the neonatal period (Wu et al., 2004) and are susceptible to fatal ...
the physiological mechanisms underpinning the favorable correlations between FCR, RG, KR, and RGR in growing males and maternal weaning weight in the present study. Residual feed intake measured in the growing ...
during the Dutch Hunger Winter in 1944–45, have shown that depending on the timing of exposure, fetal growth can be reduced [4]. Later in life , the adult offspring were more likely to have an increased ...
a significantly increased fluid intake over the pregnancy compared to control rats. C) At weaning (postnatal day 18) male offspring of control and fruit juice-fed rats had similar weaning weights. * = P ...
litter size (P = 0.03). High ranked sows bore and weaned more live females than low ranked sows (P < 0.05), in part due to differential preweaning mortality among female pigs (P = 0.01). Only male pigs ...
uncovered an association between an adverse intrauterine environment, determined primarily by low birth weight, and an increased risk of coronary heart disease later in life (4). Further studies found low ...
with the rate of vocalizations peaking 7–8 days after birth. When separated from their mothers, USVs increase in rate and intensity, known as ‘whistles of loneliness’ (56). USVs are known to induce maternal ...
on offspring food intake or body adiposity. This would be consistent with the original data of Jones et al. in which male but not female offspring increased post weaning body weight in response to maternal ...
