ABSTRACT Enteral nutrition is nutrition used to fulfill the needs of nutrition entirely and as the suplement for malnutrition patient. In a certain condition of patient, this nutrition is usually given in the form of liquid. Local material foods such as tempe, rice, mung bean, and ganyong have adequate nutrition, therefore they are suitable for being used as main raw materials in the making of enteral nutrition. The aim of this research is to know the influence of feeding enteral nutrition formulated with local food material toward malnutritious white rats (Rattus norvegicus) of which the parameters are weight, albumin, haemoglobin, and iron level. This research used Completely Random Design (CRD). Twenty seven of malnutritious male white rats were devided into 3 groups of treatment with 9 repetition for each groups of the treatment. Group A was given enteral nutrition diet of formula A (with the compositions are tempe, rice, and mung bean as the main raw material), group B was given enteral nutrition diet of formula B (with the compositions are tempe, rice, mung bean, and ganyong as the main raw material), and group C (as the positive control) was given comercial enteral nutrition diet. The daily giving of enteral nutrition is 20 gram/day during 30 days and the rest of food was weighed every day. The measurement of weight, albumin, haemoglobin, and iron level firstly was done before the treatment is given. The next measurement was conducted in 15th day and 31st day. The result data of this research was analyzed by Anava and DMRT test on the level of 5%. The result showed that the treatment of the enteral nutrition feeding of formula B was more optimal than formula A in terms of the way to increase the level of haemoglobin, albumin, and iron. Those three components will give positive effect toward the increasing of the weight of malnutritious white rats (Rattus norvegicus). Therefore, formula B is more proper to be developed as the main material of making enteral food in order to treat the malnutrition.
