The effect was particularly higher among households receiving animal feed combined with enhanced nutritional counseling, showing the following results: child MDD (OR 2.54; 95% CI 2.30–2.79)
Contexto
What changed: Households received 0.35 tons of livestock feed per dry season plus weekly face-to-face maternal and child nutrition counselling over two years. Comparison: Control communities receiving no intervention until the end of the trial. Limits: Dietary intake was assessed via qualitative 24-hour recall without quantitative intake volumes, and 81 households were lost to follow-up primarily due to pastoral migration.
