Mutual maternal and neonatal recognition vis-à-vis four foster mothering techniques were investigated using 32 sows and 128 neonate piglets in a four-week trial. The sows and the neonates were assigned into four foster mothering techniques designated as: Neonates rubbed with an odoriferous chemical and grafted during the day (NRD); neonates without the chemical treatment Cul grafted during the day (NWD); neonates rubbed with the chemical and grafted during the righi (NRN) and neonates without the chemical treatment but grafted during the night (NWN). These four techniques were tested on four sets of sows comprising eight sows per set and four corresponding years of neunuce pigs currprising tirer-ko noonate pigs per set on four different post-partum days (i.e. day 1 to 4 following farrowing). Total acceptance of the dam by the neonate gave a value of 54 with the probability of acceptance of 0.42, while total acceptance of the neonate by the dam was 86 with a probability of acceptance of 0.67. Total rejection and probability of rejection of the dam by the neonates were 74 and 0.58 with values of 42 and 0.33 for total rejection and probability of rejection of the neonates by the dam, respectively. The dams gave a higher percentage acceptance than the neonates while the neonates gave a higher percentage of rejection than the dam. Grafting within the first two days of life would hold a better fostering success on the part of the neonate as they showed more dependence on auditory and visual cues whose acuity may not have been well-developed within these first two days of life while the acceptance of the neonates by the dam could be enhanced by chemical masking of the olfactory cues, which the dam utilizes most for the recognition of her offspring.

Pregnant women who experience anemia and untreated until the end of pregnancy will have an effect at the time of delivery, so that it can cause post partum hemorrhage which results in death in the mother. This study aims to analyze the relationship between anemia and the incidence of post partum hemorrhage in Puskesmas Lenteng, Lenteng District, Sumenep Regency. The study design was analytic with a retrospective approach, the total population was 35 mothers, the total sample was 29 mothers, the sampling technique used random sampling. The independent variable is anemia, the dependent variable is the incidence of post partum hemorrhage. Collecting data using a checklist, data analysis using the chi square statistical test, the value of a = 0.05. The results showed that of the 29 women who gave birth, most of them experienced anemia (HB level <11 g%) during pregnancy, as many as 19 mothers gave birth (65.5%), and of the 29 mothers gave birth, most of them experienced post partum hemorrhage as much as 17 mothers gave birth (59%). The result of statistical tests using chi square with a value of a = 0.05, the resulting value (ρ) = 0.000, so that the value (ρ) <a (0.000 <0.05), which means that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, i.e. the relationship between anemia and the incidence of post partum hemorrhage at the Lenteng Public Health Center, Lenteng District, Sumenep Regency in 2020 In order to reduce the incidence of post partum hemorrhage, it is hoped that the mother in labor can prevent anemia during pregnancy, namely by consuming foods that contain lots of protein such as meat, liver, eggs, vegetables, folic acid (Vitamin C) and consumption of Fe tablets regularly and how to drink properly and according to conditions / needs.

Using a conditioned food avoidance learning paradigm, six squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) and six common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) were tested for their ability to (1) reliably form associations between visual or olfactory cues of a potential food and its palatability and (2) remember such associations over prolonged periods of time. We found (1) that at the group level both species showed one-trial learning with the visual cues color and shape, whereas only the marmosets were able to do so with the olfactory cue, (2) that all individuals from both species learned to reliably avoid the unpalatable food items within 10 trials, (3) a tendency in both species for quicker acquisition of the association with the visual cues compared with the olfactory cue, (4) a tendency for quicker acquisition and higher reliability of the aversion by the marmosets compared with the squirrel monkeys, and (5) that all individuals from both species were able to reliably remember the significance of the visual cues, color and shape, even after 4 months, whereas only the marmosets showed retention of the significance of the olfactory cues for up to 4 weeks. Furthermore, the results suggest that in both species tested, illness is not a necessary prerequisite for food avoidance learning but that the presumably innate rejection responses toward highly concentrated but nontoxic bitter and sour tastants are sufficient to induce robust learning and retention.

SUMMARY Many burrowing petrels are able to return to their nests in complete darkness. The well-developed anatomy of their olfactory system and the attraction that food-related odour cues have for some petrel species suggest that olfaction may be used to recognize the burrow. In contrast,surface-nesting petrels may rely on visual cues to recognise their nest. We performed experiments on nine species of petrel (with different nesting habits) rendered anosmic either by plugging the nostrils or by injecting zinc sulphate onto the nasal epithelium. Compared with shamtreated control birds,we found that anosmia impaired nest recognition only in species that nest in burrows and that return home in darkness. Therefore, petrels showing nocturnal activity on land may rely on their sense of smell to find their burrows, while petrels showing diurnal activity or surface nesters may disregard olfactory cues in favour of visual guidance.

Endometritis is one of the causes associated with low reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle. This study evaluated the prevalence of subclinical endometritis (SE) in three dairy herds in Puerto Rico during both hot and cool seasons. In cows at 45±7 days post-partum, SE, defined as the presence of ≥5% of polymorphonuclear cells in samples of endometrial tissue, was determined by cytology. The overall prevalence of SE (n=101 cows) was 8.9% and no significant effects were found of breed (P=0.73), season (P=0.34), number of lactations (P=0.60), nor location (P=0.56). For Holsteins, Brown Swiss, Jersey and crossbred cows the prevalence of SE was 10.4, 18.7, 0, and 6.3%, respectively. Primiparous cows showed a value of 7.1% SE and multiparous, 10.2%. During the hot season the prevalence of SE was 6.1% versus 11.5% for the cool season. At the dairies located in Moca, Lajas and Camuy the condition was detected in 5.5%, 6.6% and 12.0% of the cows, respectively. Compared to studies conducted in other countries, the present results indicate that SE is relatively well under control in the local dairy herds studied.

ABSTRACT One of the failures of exclusive breastfeeding is the lack of a mother's level of confidence that her mother's milk cannot fulfill her baby's nutritional needs. Efforts that can be made to stimulate the hormone prolactin and oxytocin in the mother after childbirth is to provide a relaxed sensation in the mother by doing Woolwich massage and rolling massage (back). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of Woolwich massage methods and Rolling Massage on Asi production in post partum mothers. Research site in the Work Area of Mapane Health Center, Poso Regency. The type of research used was Quasi Experimental. Data analysis was performed by the chi squre test. The results of the study showed that 95.8% of the intervention group respondents had enough baby weight while in the group without intervention it was 70.8% with a value of p = 0.048. Frequency of BAK: 87.5% of respondents in the intervention group had sufficient frequency while in the group without intervention it was 45.8% with a value of p = 0.006. BAB frequency in the intervention group 100% frequency is sufficient while in the group without intervention is 91.7% with a value of p = 0.015. This research is expected to be applied by midwives and taught to mothers and families so as to increase ASI production so that the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is achieved in the area of the Research Health Center. Keywords: Combination of Woolwich Massage and Rolling Massage, ASI Production

Early Breastfeeding Initiation (EBI) or the onset of early breastfeeding is to give newborns the opportunity to suckle themselves on their mothers in the first hour of birth, Early Breastfeeding Initiation (EBI) is related to the production of the hormone oxytocin, which helps the uterus contract so that it does not can immediately reduce bleeding in the mother. The Early Breastfeeding Initiation (EBI) itself is still low in Indonesia, North Sumatra contributes to the low rate of EBI implementation at 24%, according to the Director General of Family Health of the Ministry of Health Eni Gustina. The biggest cause of maternal mortality in Indonesia during 2010-2013 was bleeding 30.3 %. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was an effect of early breastfeeding initiation (EBI) on the amount of bleeding period IV in the midwife clinic Suherni Amd. Keb Kec Beringin kab Deli Serdang in 2019. This type of research is pre-experiment with the design of static group comparison, with a population of 28 post partum mothers. Sampling is done by "purposive sampling", the sample size in this study amounted to 20 mothers then divided into 2 groups where 10 mothers as the experimental group and 10 mothers as the control group. Data collection is recorded on the observation sheet, data analysis is done by univariate and bivariate with t-independent test. The results of the analysis showed that there was an effect of Early Breastfeeding Initiation (EBI) on the amount of Bleeding Period IV in the Midwife Clinic Suherni Amd. Keb Kec Beringin Kab Deli Serdang in 2019 with a value of p 0,000. It is expected that the number of mothers who breastfeed in the first minute to one hour of birth can increase, because EBI provides many benefits for babies and mothers. If immediately breastfeeding after giving birth can reduce maternal mortality.
