  • Beschreibung: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing supplementation with bovine lactoferrin versus placebo for the prevention of diarrhea in children. Comparison of overall diarrhea incidence and prevalence rates found no significant difference between the 2 groups. However, there was a lower prevalence of colonization with Giardia species and better growth among children in the lactoferrin group.
