IntroductionMalnutrition is a global challenge in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (Shetty, 2002, Black et al., 2008). More than ten million children under the age of five die each year worldwide and the percentage of child deaths in sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 41% and 34% in South Asia (Black et al., 2003 ). It has been estimated that more than 50% of these child deaths could be attributed to the potentiating effects of malnutrition in infectious diseases such as diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria, tuberculosis and other infections (Rice et al. , 2000, Caulfield et al., 2004). Due to deficiencies of essential nutrients in daily diets as well as the impact of recurrent infections, malnutrition contributes significantly to the global burden of disease, particularly among children under five years of age (Black, et al., 2008). The high prevalence of childhood illness and death associated with chronic and recurrent infections in third world countries contributes significantly to poor nutrition in these countries (Rice et al., 2000, Caulfield et al., 2004). Aspects involved in the etiology of many deficiency diseases depend on the interaction between social, demographic, genetic, infectious and societal conditions (Manary & Solomons, 2004, Black, et al., 2008). Poverty is the main determinant of malnutrition in these communities. (Sachs and McArthur, 2005). It is well known that the political situation and low economic growth, changes in climatic conditions such as drought or overpopulation cause shortage of certain foodstuffs, high prevalence of infectious diseases, civil conflicts and wars, disasters natural and unnatural contribute to increased malnutrition (Shetty, 2002, Mul...... middle of article ......ar colostrum, provides an essential dietary source of vitamin A for infants and young children (Sommer & Davidson, 2002). Furthermore, it is necessary to improve maternal health and vitamin A status in poor societies because breast milk comes from the mother (Latham, 2010). deficiencies of essential nutrients in the daily diet, many deficiency diseases remain pervasive and detrimental in developing countries, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. It is clear that malnutrition is not a simple problem requiring a single, simple solution. Multiple and collaborative interventions implemented in prevention approaches can be effective because malnutrition has many causes. There are a wide range of sectors and organizations that must determine resource allocation priorities between nutrition, health, economic and education policies..
