Abstract
Snakehead fish is a freshwater fish, which is rich in health benefits. Therefore, snakehead fish is used in processing the application of snakehead fish nanodispersion technology. One of the processing of snakehead fish concentrate into food supplements in the form of dispersion is expected to attract consumers. This study aims to determine the effect of giving snakehead fish concentrate dispersion on body weight growth and IgM activity in administering snakehead fish concentrate dispersion of 0.6 ml. For this reason, mice were tested as test animals. Bodyweight measurements were carried out to determine the weight gain of the test animals during the period of giving snakehead fish concentrate dispersion. The treatments were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The results show that the highest increase in body weight of mice was given to 0.2 ml and 0.4 ml concentrates, with the average value of each replication being 28.60 g and 27.93 g. In contrast, the test animals that were not given the snakehead fish concentrate dispersion had an average value of 26.60 g for each treatment. Provision of snakehead fish concentrates dispersion in accordance with the minimum gastric capacity of the test animal. In addition, the administration of snakehead fish concentrate dispersion with a dose of 0.6 ml is 27.87 g. However, on giving snakehead fish concentrate dispersion with a dose of 0.6 ml, the test animals experienced illness. In this study, it can be concluded that the administration of snakehead fish concentrate dispersion can be given in a dose range of 0.4 ml-0.6 ml. Based on research that has been done, giving snakehead fish concentrate dispersion can increase body weight and activity IgM with the appropriate dose.
