AbstractMaternal vitamin intake during pregnancy is crucial for pregnancy outcomes and the child's subsequent health. However, there are few valid instruments for assessing vitamin intake that address the effects of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP). This study aimed to investigate the validity of a FFQ concerning vitamin intake during early and late pregnancy with and without NVP. The participants comprised 200 Japanese pregnant women who completed the FFQ and from whom blood samples were taken in early and late pregnancy. Energy-adjusted dietary vitamin intakes (vitamin C, folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin D) from FFQ were compared with their blood concentrations. A subgroup of women with NVP was investigated. In early pregnancy, significant correlations between FFQ and biomarkers were observed for vitamin C (r0·27), folate (r0·18) and vitamin D (r0·26) in women with NVP and for vitamin A (r0·18), vitamin B12(r0·24) and vitamin D (r0·23) in women without NVP. No significant correlations were observed in either group for vitamins B6or E. In late pregnancy, similar significant associations were observed for vitamin C (r0·27), folate (r0·22), vitamin B6(r0·18), vitamin B12(r0·27) and vitamin A (r0·15); coefficients were higher among women without NVP. Our study demonstrates that the FFQ is a useful tool for assessing intake of several important vitamins in early and late pregnancy regardless of NVP status.

Fattening Pigs

After it had become evident that vitamin B12 can be considered as a part of the so-called ‘Animal Protein Factor’, several experiments with young fattening pigs have been carried out in the Netherlands. The purpose of these experiments was to gain experience as to the value of products rich in vitamin B12 for pig feeding. In these trials 312 animals were used.The results can be summarized as follows:1. Substitution to a large extent of animal protein by vegetable protein in rations containing tho same total percentage of protein resulted in a retardation of growth.2. Addition of vitamin B12 supplements to feed mixtures low in animal protein in this series of experiments generally gave better results than could be obtained without this addition. In the majority of cases, however, the results did not equal those of the groups which received rations containing the usual amount of animal protein.3. Vitamin B12 can be considered as a component of the animal protein factor, but besides this there probably exist other factors which contribute to the special value of animal protein for young pigs.4. In circumstances such as prevail in the Netherlands, little benefit can be derived for pig fattening from the use of products rich in vitamin B12.
