[Value of the alimentary factor in the prevention of iron deficiency conditions in young children].

On the basis of the clinicophysiological and biochemical-hematologic investigations it was established that the feeding of infants with the adapted mixture "Malysh" did not prevent the development of latent iron deficiency in them. This was the reason for the enrichment of the mixture with hemopoietic substances. Five formulas of the mixture with varying compositions of hemopoietic factors enabled the authors to establish the optimum variant of the ratio of these ingredients in the adapted milk mixture.
