The results are presented as SD of the means. ComF01: complementary food 01 (white maize+red teff+soybean); ComF02: complementary food 02 (white maize+red teff+insect bee larvae); RV: recommended value; commercial wean mix (Mama's Choice); means with different superscripts (alphabets) in the same row are significantly different P < 0.05; αsources [63].
