Animal source foods and nutrition during early life
| Copy Link | |
| Coordinating organisation: | Institute of Food Science and Nutrition |
| Description: | The overall aim of this study is to improve our understanding of the role that animal source foods (ASF:s) play in the nutritional status of young children in Ethiopia. The importance of ASF:s as sources of energy, high quality protein and bioavailable micronutrients in infants and young children consuming complementary foods will be evaluated and pathways by which livestock keeping influences their availability will be characterized. Families with 6 month old infants are currently recruited into the study. To target lower income families, only households with small livestock (sheep, goats, chickens) and without livestock are included in the study. |
