“…Whereas, at the end of lactation, germinated seeds and oil of fenugreek recorded significantly higher rates of milk yield relative to the control groups. These results may agree with the results obtained by [21] who stated that, phytoestrogens and diosgenin of fenugreek appear to account for increasing the milk flow. Also, the results are consistent with the results of [19] who demonstrated that, fenugreek has estrogenic activity that is effective on breast milk production.…”

The objective of the current work is to investigate the possible beneficial effects of forced feeding of fenugreek to rabbit does on their milk composition, milk yield, anemia screening parameters, immunity and the growth performance of bunnies. Twenty white New Zealand female rabbits were randomly assigned into 5 groups: normal control and 4 treated groups (vehicle (molasses), fenugreek powdered seeds + molasses, sprouted fenugreek + molasses, and fenugreek oil + molasses). All treated groups took the given doses orally for two days before parturition and 13 days after parturition for 2 successive pregnancies. Blood samples were collected from each doe on the 13 th day of lactation for determination of hematological, biochemical and immunological parameters. Milk samples were taken for evaluation of milk composition. All rabbit does and their bunnies were weighed for calculation of the milk yield. The fenugreek seeds and oil administered groups (G 3 & G 5 ) recorded the highest percent values of fat, protein, lactose, total solids and solid not fat contents of the rabbits' milk in both 1 st and 2 nd lactation periods relative to other tested groups. At the beginning and mid of lactation periods, the milk yields recorded non-significant differences either between tested groups or between 1 st and 2 nd pregnancy in the same group. Whereas, at the end of lactation, germinated seeds (G 4 ) and oil (G 5 ) treated groups recorded significantly higher rates of milk yield relative to control and fenugreek seeds groups. Bunnies' body weights suckling from dams of group III (G 3 ) recorded the highest weights relative to other tested groups in both 1 st and 2 nd pregnancy. During the 1 st lactation period, all experimental groups showed significant reduction of white blood cells, while, G 3 and G 4 recorded significant elevation during 2 nd lactation period. Rabbits treated with fenugreek seeds powder (G 3 ) showed a signifiHow to cite this paper: Abdel-Rahman, H., Fathalla, S.I., Assayed, M.E., Masoad, S.R. 1277cant raise of phagocytic activity and phagocytic index. Fenugreek seeds group (G 3 ) and germinated one (G 4 ) showed significant red blood corpuscles and packed cell volume raise relative to other groups during both 1 st and 2 nd lactation periods.

“…The results revealed that the herbal tea with fenugreek group had almost double the mean volume of pumped milk (73 mL) as compared to the placebo (39 mL) and control group (31 mL). The galactagogue group also had a lower maximum weight loss and shorter time to recovery of birth weight compared to both the placebo and control groups (61).…”

A B S T R A C TFenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum), native to southern Europe and Asia, is an annual herb with white flowers and hard, yellowish brown and angular seeds, known from ancient times, for nutritional value beside of it medicinal effects. Fenugreek seeds are rich source of gum, fiber, alkaloid, flavonoids, saponin and volatile content. Due to it's high content of fiber, fenugreek could be used as food stabilizer, adhesive and emulsifying agent to change food texture for some special purposes. Some evidences suggest that fenugreek may also be regarded as antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic, remedy for hypocholesterolemia and hypoglycemia, antioxidant, antibacterial agent, gastric stimulant, and anti-anorexia agent. The present article is aimed to review the potential applications of fenugreek as a functional food and nutraceutical.

Главной причиной преждевременного завершения грудного вскармливания, по данным литературы, является гипогалак-тия, ее профилактика и лечение могут значительно продлить кормление грудью. В статье представлен опыт профилактики гипогалактии путем чтения лекций на курсах для беременных женщин в рамках антенатальной подготовки к родам, что привело к достоверным различиям в продолжительности грудного вскармливания: до 1,5 года кормили грудью 62% про-слушавших лекции женщин и только 37% женщин, которые не посещали курсы по собственной инициативе (р < 0,001). Таким образом, антенатальная профилактика гипогалактии, информирование беременных о рекомендациях ВОЗ (частое прикладывание ребенка к груди, контакт «кожа к коже», ночные кормления и сцеживание) могут значительно продлить грудное вскармливание. Кроме того, может быть полезно применение лактогонных средств. В статье дан обзор современ-ной информации об эффективности и применении в разных странах лактогонных средств, как травяных, так и фармако-логических. Особое внимание уделено травам: фенхелю, анису, крапиве и тмину, входящим в состав травяного чая Лактафитол®, широко применяемого в России.
