	Gestation Periods and Animal Scale
		The gestation periods of other animal reveals that the length of the gestation period is largely a matter of the animal specie's size.
		Thus the gestation period should be proportional to the scale of the animal.
		The conclusion is that the nine-month gestation period for humans is merely a matter of human size and not the result of some evolutionary optimization.

	The HSUS Praises Smithfield Move to End Confinement of Pigs in Gestation Crates \| The Humane Society of the United ...
		"Gestation crates are one of the most inhumane confinement systems used in modern agribusiness, and this decision is a signal by the industry leader that these crates have no place in the future of American agriculture.
		The sows have a gestation period of four months, and are in the crates for nearly their entire pregnancy.
		Florida citizens voted to prohibit gestation crate confinement in 2002, and the Arizona measure was approved in 2006.

		Gestation crates, narrow metal enclosures where female breeding pigs are confined for most of their lives, have been outlawed by European countries because of humane concerns, and Farm Sanctuary is campaigning to ban these inhumane devices in the United States.
		In an effort to prevent Florida from outlawing gestation crates, factory pork producers approached the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and convinced them to officially endorse these inhumane devices at the AVMA convention in the summer of 2002.
		Tell him that gestation crates are inhumane and should be prohibited by the state’s humane standards.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Gestational age
		Gestation is the period of time between conception and birth, during which the fetus grows and develops inside its mother's uterus.
		Gestational age is the time measured from the first day of the woman's last menstrual cycle to the current date.
		Strictly speaking, the gestational age of a fetus or infant is a measurement of time inside of the uterus.

	Gestation Stalls, Animal Welfare and People (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Gestation stalls are specifically designed for confinement housing of pregnant gilts and sows on hog farms.
		The defining characteristic of gestation stalls is that each stall confines an individual sow, and stalls are arranged in the breeding-gestation barn such that the sows are confined individually in rows of adjacent stalls.
		The gestation stall issue has been in the news recently with two groups, Farm Sanctuary and the Humane Society of the United States, conducting a campaign in the state of Arizona to establish an election year referendum proposing bans on gestation stalls for sows and tethers for veal calves.

	Gestation Period and Gestational Age Encyclopedia of Childhood and Adolescence - Find Articles
		A gestation period of thirty-eight weeks (266 days) is calculated for women who are pregnant by a procedure such as in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination that allows them to know their exact date of conception.
		The gestational age of a fetus or newborn infant corresponds to how far along it is in the gestation period, usually measured in weeks and days from the first day of the mother's last menstrual period.
		Gestational age is also used as a baseline to identify babies who are at risk because of their small size--small for gestational age (SGA) or small for date (SFD).

	Prolonged Gestation Associated with Fetal Deformity - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		In Holstein-Freisian cows, genetically determined prolonged gestation is caused by an autosomal recessive gene of the fetus.
		Prolonged gestation with craniofacial defects in the fetus has been reported in Ayrshire, Guernsey, and Jersey breeds of cattle and is thought to be caused by a recessive gene.
		Treatment of a case in which gestation is not genuinely prolonged may result in the delivery of a premature fetus that is unlikely to survive.

		Of all the cruel abuses of animals on factory farms, one of the most hideous is the gestation crate.
		Pigs are intelligent, friendly, social animals; mother pigs in gestation crates often go insane from the complete isolation and boredom, with only metal bars in front of them to stare at.
		In addition, thousands of animal rights activists in Florida and Arizona recently worked to pass statewide bans on gestation crates; these victories likely showed Smithfield that the days of gestation crates were numbered because Americans are against cruelty to animals.

	Gestation Sow Housing Options Abound
		The move to individual gestation stalls made feeding easier, prevented sows from fighting during mixing and feeding, allowed for individual health care and vaccination, provided better control of the dunging area, prevented sows in estrus from excessively riding each other, and allowed more sows to be housed in a specific amount of space.
		Whether constructing a new gestation facility or remodeling an existing one, sow welfare is just one aspect of a total decision-making process that involves many other factors, including capital costs, anticipated performance, ease of management and operating cost.
		Research has shown that food deprivation for 48 hours after ovulation is associated with changes in reproductive hormones, changes in metabolic hormones, a decrease in number of sperm cells transported to the sperm reservoir of the oviduct, a lower cleavage rate of embryos and a delayed transport of ova.

		If a beef cow is to have a calf every year and pay her way in the herd, she has to return to heat, conceive, gestate and deliver a baby on a 12 month schedule.
		Consequently the longer gestation cattle have fewer days between calving and the next conception if they are to stay on a twelve month calving inteval.
		Cows that gestate in excess of 290 days must return to heat very soon (at or before 60 days after calving) to maintain the same reproductive performance of shorter gestation cows.

	Ewe Management Tips: Mid and Late Gestation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Additionally, proper nutrition during gestation is important to prevent nutritional disorders which may impact the health and performance of the ewe and her lambs, and influences milk production of the ewe.
		There are several factors that affect the nutritional needs of the ewe during gestation, with primary considerations for: 1) age, 2) weight, 3) body condition, 4) stage of gestation (early-mid vs. late), and 5) fetal number (single, twins, triplets).
		Often, ewes are grazing during early gestation, and in most cases forage alone will meet or exceed their nutritional needs, and in many cases ewes will gain weight during this period while grazing fall pastures.

	Pork giant to phase out gestation crates - Food Inc. - MSNBC.com
		Female pigs used for breeding (called 'breeding sows' by industry) are confined most of their lives in 'gestation crates' which are so small that they cannot even turn around.
		Smithfield's sows, which the company says grow to an average of 400 to 450 pounds during gestation, are kept in 2-by-7-foot metal crates in order to monitor their progress during their four-month pregnancies.
		Preliminary results after two years indicate that with proper management, group housing is as good as gestation stalls for providing care for pregnant sows, he said.

	283 Days of Gestation and Birthing of the Man Child
		It turns out that looking up the various occurrences of 283 provides a rich commentary not just about gestation and birth but also in the metaphor this presents of the birthing of the kingdom of God in these latter-days, the coming forth of the manchild.
		Page 283 of Gesenius' Old Testament lexicon is also filled with gestation-relevant words such as 2504, "to go out of the loins" and 2502, "to deliver;" as well as kingdom of God birthing concepts.
		While the application of this to gestation or childbirth is not immediate, this definition renders a near verbatim cross link to word definition 2502 found on page 283 of Gesenius that includes the meaning, "to deliver."

		I found that the gestation period for an architecture was completely unpredictable, if that architecture did not have good reference points with previous experience.
		An application architecture is not fully gestated until the architect can visualize the implementation, and explain the architecture to the implementation team clearly enough that they can visualize the implementation.
		In other words, try to predict what is coming down the road, and get the gestation on the hard architectural problems started well before you need to nail down a timeline.
