It will also study growth patterns, biological markers, and gut microbiome differences among infants receiving GMDFA, undiluted goat milk, or breast milk.\n\nThe main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n1. Do infants receiving GMDFA show similar growth patterns to those who are breastfed?\n2. Are biological markers of gut health and nutrition (such as calprotectin, lipocalin-2, CRP, and claudin) comparable between the groups?\n3. How do feeding types (GMDFA, goat milk, or breast milk) influence the infant gut microbiome composition, metabolic pathways, and lipid profiles?\n4. Is GMDFA a safe and nutritionally adequate feeding option for infants unable to be exclusively breastfed?\n\nWe will compare GMDFA, undiluted goat milk, and breast milk (reference group) to evaluate infant growth, gut health, and metabolic outcomes.\n\nParticipants will:\n\nBe randomly assigned to one of three feeding groups: GMDFA, undiluted goat milk, or breastfed\n\nAttend regular follow-up visits for growth measurements and sample collection (blood, stool, and breast milk where applicable)\n\nHave feeding practices monitored and recorded through caregiver interviews and feeding logs\n\nAdditional Analyses:\n\nMicrobiome analysis: to identify gut bacterial diversity and composition across feeding groups Metagenomic analysis: to explore functional genes and metabolic pathways related to nutrition and gut health Lipidomic analysis: to assess differences in lipid and fatty acid profiles in breast milk, goat milk, and infant samples",[28,29,30,31,32],"Malnutrition (Calorie)","Infant Nutrition Disorder","Growth Flatering","Gut Microbiome","Lipidomics",[34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,32,52,53],"Infant nutrition","goat milk","Infant feeding practices","Breastfeeding","Breastfeeding Alternatives","Alternate feeding practices","Growth outcomes","Infant growth metrics","Gut microbiome","Gut inflammation biomarkers","Calprotectin","Lipocalin-2","Claudin-2","C-reactive protein (CRP)","Randomized controlled trial","Rural Pakistan","Infant health","Malnutrition prevention","Breast milk","Metagenomics","RECRUITING","2026-03-25",{"date":57,"type":58},"2026-03-30","ACTUAL",{"date":60,"type":58},"2025-08-30",{"date":62,"type":22},"2026-03-18",{"name":64,"class":65},"Aga Khan University","OTHER"]
