Die Ausnutzung von Gesamtfettsäuren und Calcium von gesunden Säuglingen im 1. Lebensvierteljahr in Abhängigkeit vom Fettsäuren-Gehalt und von der Fettsäuren-Zusammensetzung in Milchmischungen

Utilization of Mixed Fatty Acids and Calcium by Healthy Sucklings in the First Quarter Year of Their Life in Relation to the Fatty Acid Content and the Fatty Acid Composition of the Milk Mixtures The daily utilization of calcium and mixed fatty acids by 43 healthy sucklings from 4^th till 90^th day of their life is reported. The sucklings received the usual cow milk mixtures with different fat contents and varying fatty acid compositions. It is shown that the calcium utilization by the new-borns and young sucklings is, even on feeding with mother's milk, lower than in the later infant age. Furthermore, a statistically proved relationship is shown to exist between the level of fat content as well as the fatty acid spectrum of the feed and the calcium utilization.
