This is a nutritional trial with two arms: 1) Intervention arm of Probiotic Yoghurt containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus yoba 2012 and 2) Control arm of custard-like dairy product. The study subjects are 200 children between the age of 3-6 years that attend a school in Southwestern Uganda, Sheema district. Children will be randomized and enrolled in either the yoghurt (100 children) or the placebo (100 children) arm. The children will be monitored for 3 weeks in the baseline in regards to the incidence of common childhood diseases. During these three weeks, stool, saliva and urine samples will be collected. Also measurement of anthropometric indicators (weight and height) will take place. Subsequently, the children will consume either 100ml yoghurt or 100ml placebo product, once per day for five days per week for nine weeks, while being daily monitored in regards to the incidence of common childhood diseases. The same samples (stool, urine and saliva) and assessments (anthropometric) will take place at end line.
