As many as 30 children aged 36-40 months age were given 100 g of sample for four months. The result shows that the catfish nuggets were preferred as a snack. The average nuggets consumption was 83.5 grams per day and it contributed 23.8% of protein. The catfish nuggets given may improve children’s health and nutritional status. © 2023 UPM Press.
