Abstract

One of the factors that influence the growth of food consumption. A mixture of cereals and nuts can increase the nutritional value. Germination of grains can improve the digestibility and reduce anti-nutritional compounds. Soybean is one of the main sources of vegetable protein rich in essential amino acids. KEJALE is the formula of flour corn and soybean sprouts granulated, steamed and dried. Soy sprouts have bioactive components beneficial for health. Besides bioactive components, food consumption with quality protein can improve growth. This study aims to determine the effect KEJALE consumption to changes in body weight as well as the long bones of rat. A total of 18 female rats Sprague Dawley types used in this study. Rats were divided into three treatment groups. Group I, mice without surgery with standard feed diet; group II, rats dissected by standard feed diet; group III, dissected rats with standard diet + KEJALE feed. Maintenance mice performed for 8 weeks. Treatment provision KEJALE conducted for 6 weeks. The results showed that there is influence KEJALE consumption on body weight of rats (p = 0.015). Rats that were given an extra meal has KEJALE percentage weight gain and feed efficiency the highest. Rats showed a growth pattern that is not different curves. Length rat bones no significant differences between treatment groups (p = 0139)
