A Multi-Ingredient Dietary Supplement To Improve Growth And Development Of Small For Gestational Age Infants: Concept-Testing Using Newborn Pigs, Taisiya Yakimkova

At birth, SGA pigs have relatively smaller livers and spleens (g/kg) than appropriate for gestational age (AGA) pigs and have higher serum values for alanine aminotransferase, creatine kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase. Newborn SGA pigs …
