The objective of this study was to determine whether dietary supplementation with an enzymatic hydrolysate of Octopus vulgaris and Carica papaya (EHOC) could increase milk production and nutritional indexes in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats.

Results showed that the EHOC diet obviously elevated daily milk yield and pup weight compared to the control group (P?
