Background: The transition to complementary feeding directly affects child health. In this period, economic and cultural factors affect the transition to complementary feeding. The aim of this study was to investigate the transition behaviours of mothers with 6-month-old babies who were in the process of transition to complementary feeding.
Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted between February and April 2024. The study sample consisted of 721 mothers with 6-month-old babies. The data were obtained through snowball sampling method on the online platform. The study focused on mothers' demographic and Transition to Complementary Feeding Behaviors Scale (TCFBS) results. Data were obtained on an online platform. Difference, correlation and regression analyses were performed.
Results: The mean age of the mothers included in the study was 27.58 ± 3.87. The TCFBS total score of the mothers included in the study was 92.01 ± 15.18. There was a statistically significant difference between the education and income status of the mothers and the gender of the baby and TCFBS total score (p < 0.05). According to the regression analysis, it is possible to explain approximately 46.4% of the variable of transition behaviour to complementary feeding in dependent mothers with the gender of the baby and the educational status of the mother.
Conclusion: Complementary feeding transition behaviour of mothers in the process of transition to complementary feeding was found to be positive. It was found that the complementary feeding behaviour of the mothers was affected by the gender of the baby and education, and the transition to complementary feeding behaviours of mothers with female babies and university graduates were positive. It can be said that mothers need care and counselling from midwives and nurses in this period.

Objective: Our objective was to estimate the seroprevalences of 6 serovars in beef calves at or near fall weaning and assess how concentrations of serovar antibody titers in weaning-age calves varied with herd vaccination programs.
Animals: Serum was collected from 1922 beef calves from 106 herds in the Canadian Cow-Calf Surveillance Network (C3SN).
Procedure: A microscopic agglutination test was used to measure antibody titers for serovars Bratislava, Canicola, Grippotyphosa, Hardjo, Icterohaemorrhagiae, and Pomona.

Background: As one of the most destructive and invasive pests for various plants in China, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) poses an enormous threat to food security and results in serious economic losses for harvesting and consumption of agricultural vegetables. To this end, indoxacarb has shown great promise as an effective insecticide against Spodoptera frugiperda. It is metabolized by insect esterases or amidases into the N-decarbomethoxy metabolite (DCJW), which is a key metabolite responsible for the insecticidal activity of indoxacarb.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of a multidisciplinary tube-weaning program.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled children with feeding tube dependency who had not responded to standard tube-weaning interventions. All participants underwent a structured two-week multidisciplinary tube weaning delivered in a day-hospital setting at the Children's Hospital Zagreb in the period from August 2016 to February 2023.
Commercially processed complementary foods (CPCFs) are consumed in Kenya, but little is known about caregiver perceptions and reasons for their consumption. We explored caregiver perceptions, motivations and reasons for purchasing CPCFs. This cross-sectional mixed-methods study was conducted in Nairobi among caregivers of children aged 6-23 months.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between women's fecundability and postpartum breastfeeding.
Methods: We used a prospective cohort study design to recruit pregnant women who came to the hospital for antenatal checkups before 20 weeks' gestation between April 2019 and March 2020 at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Gulou District, Nanjing, China. Women were categorized into prolonged time to pregnancy (TTP) group (>3 months) and shorten TTP (≤3 months) groups.
