Abstract

The research objective was to improve the nutritional status of children under five years old. The research employed experimental method by feeding in the form of freshwater fish nuggets for 16 weeks to 180 children on the coast of Bandarharjo (PB) and in the mountains of Ngijo (PN). The results showed that there was a significant relationship (p<0.05) between the consumption of nuggets with an increase in nutritional status. The nutritional improvement by giving freshwater fish nuggets attractive to children can be applied to prevent stunting. This means that feeding nuggets can improve the nutritional status of children under five years old. © 2020 UPM Press. All rights reserved.
