Abstract


Sargassum sp. is one of the algae that belongs to the group of brown algae (Phaeophyceae). Some studies show that Sargassum sp has a high nutritional content, such as protein, antioxidants, and some essential minerals. Pregnancy can be a physiological stressor that can cause decreased body resistance. This study aims to determine the effect of seaweed extract on feed intake and body weight on white rats (Rattus novergicus) Wistar bunting strains. The study used ten pregnant rats divided into two groups, namely the control group and the treatment group. The treatment group rats were fed basal feed plus sargassum sp. dose 450 mg/kg body weight, while the control group was given basal feed; the entire treatment was carried out for 21 days. Every day, rats were given 100 ml of drinking water and 30 grams of pellet feed. Feed intake was recorded, while body weight was weighed every ten days. This study showed increased feed intake and body weight in the control and treatment group bunting rats. The statistical analysis showed a significant increase in rat body weight (p < 0.005) weekly in both groups. Based on the study's results, it can be concluded that the administration of seaweed extract (Sargassum sp.) in white rats (Rattus novergicus) Wistar bunting strain did not significantly affect feed intake but significantly affected body weight
