Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the physical development and health status of babies receiving goat’s milk-based formula “Bibikasha”. Patients and methods. An open-label uncontrolled trial was conducted in 47 babies aged 5 to 6.5 months. Their weight and height changes, neuropsychological development, and the skin were assessed. The incidence of acute respiratory diseases, the manifestations of dyspepsia, and number of bowel movement a day were estimated; fecal macroscopy, microbiological examination, and complete blood count were carried out. The data were statistically processed using Statistica Advanced. Results. At complementary feeding, there was constipation and hard stools in approximately 20% the infants in the study group and fecal opportunistic bacteria in 63.8%. When eating Bibikasha, the number of infants with opportunistic pathogenic bacteria reduced by 3 times and hard stools and constipation disappeared completely. During their follow-up, none of the babies developed anemia, acute respiratory or gastrointestinal diseases; weight gain rates and psychomotor development were age-appropriate, indicating their harmonious development. Conclusion. Bibikasha used as a complementary food has a positive effect on a baby’s health and contributes to the prevention of nutrition-related diseases. Adding Bibikasha to the diet of infants with constipation normalizes their bowel function

Относительно недавно было опубликовано клиническое исследование, в ходе которого установлено, что кишечная микрофлора младенцев, вскормленных смесью на новозеландском цельном козьем молоке (детская адаптированная смесь, являющаяся аналогом казеиндоминирующей смеси НЭННИ в России), статистически достоверно не отличается от микрофлоры детей, находящихся на грудном вскармливании [26].
