Abstract:Background
For very preterm infants, human milk is often fortified with formula products based on processed bovine milk. Intact bovine colostrum (BC), rich in anti-inflammatory milk factors, is considered an alternative. We investigated if BC affects anti-inflammatory/TH2 immunity and infection risk in very preterm infants.
Methods
For a secondary analysis of a multicenter, randomized controlled trial (NCT03537365), very preterm infants (26–31 weeks gestat… Show more
