rules are being placed within the practice of maternal mothers with focus on the protection of the fetus as a separate entity from the woman.

Introduction: Most captive bred animals, whether held in zoos, laboratories, as companion animals or for agricultural production uses are separated from their young almost immediately after birth and artificially reared by humans. The implication of maternal deprivation has been extensively studied in laboratory rats, mice, and monkeys, but largely ignored in dairy cattle. Most dairy producers in North America believe that early separation of the cow and calf is both economical and beneficial to the
Maternal Age and Risk of Stillbirth As with most complication of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and congenital defects, the maternal age plays a key role. In particular, mothers who are age 35 and older statistically have the highest rates of incidence in complications.

Preventing maternal deaths demands challenging social biases that drastically limit women’s choices and deter husbands, fathers, health care providers and policymakers from investing in women. Transforming these attitudes and behaviours requires working not only with women, but also with men to demonstrate the benefits that gender equality brings to families and communities (UNFPA, 2012). In 2005, India, home to more than 50,000 maternal deaths annually, intervened through the Janani Suraksha Yojana
