Fish waste and tempeh have significant nutritional advantages in making cat food. Some of the advantages that can be obtained from using these ingredients include the vegetable protein content in tempeh which is easier for cats to digest, making it very beneficial for cats with certain digestive sensitivities or allergies. Tempeh also contains essential amino acids that help meet the nutritional needs of cats, as well as support muscle growth and maintenance. Fish waste contains important nutrients such as 29.70% protein, 18.83% fat, 1.94% carbohydrates, 8.97% water content, and 1.07% crude fiber, which overall meet the nutritional needs of cats. In addition, the omega-3 fatty acid content in eggs is also useful for the health of the cat's skin and fur, making the food more nutritious. Tempeh is also known as first aid for cats with diarrhea, because the bacteria contained in tempeh can help neutralize harmful bacteria in the cat's intestines. By combining fish waste and tempeh in cat food, cats can get complete and balanced nutritional intake, while reducing feed production costs, making it a more environmentally friendly and economical choice.

Background:Supplemental Feeding (PMT) is an activity of providing food in the form of safe and quality snacks along with other supporting activities by considering aspects of food quality and safety. There are two types of supplementary feeding, namely supplementary recovery feeding and supplementary counseling (PMT). Supplemental feeding (PMT) of local food is one of the strategies for handling nutritional problems in toddlers. The PMT activity needs to be accompanied by nutrition and health education for behavioral change, for example with support for breastfeeding, education and counseling on feeding, cleanliness and sanitation for families. Nutritional status is a state of the body as a result of food consumption and use of nutrients, where nutrients are needed by the body as a source of energy, growth and maintenance of body tissues, and regulators of body processes. Nutritional status is greatly influenced by nutritional intake. Objective: To determine the effect of providing local supplementary feeding (PMT) on the nutritional status of toddlers aged 12-59 months. Method: This type of research uses quantitative research using a pre-experimental design pretest-posttest research design. Results: Based on the results of the study, it was shown that a p-value of 0.41 (> 0.05) was obtained. Conclusion: Provision of Local Supplementary Food (PMT) Has No Relationship with Toddler Nutritional Status at UPTD Siriwini Health Center. Suggestion: It is expected that mothers who have toddlers pay more attention to the growth and development of toddlers.

Leguminous plants are plants with high protein and nutrient content, especially the protein content. Leguminous plants can grow anywhere but these plants have not been widely utilised by farmers. Some information related to leguminous plants is expected to help farmers overcome feed in the dry season. The information was obtained by reading and analysing literature and data from various research libraries that have been published in accredited journals. Tree legumes include indigofera, lamtoro, turi, gamal, and kaliandra. Indigofera plants have a crude protein content of 29.16%, while lamtoro, turi, gamal, kaliandra and Moringa are 23.8%; 31.29%; 22.6%; 25%; and 25.77% respectively. The nutrient content is supported by high productivity, where the production of indigofera, lamtoro, turi, gamal, and kaliandra can reach 4.096 tonnesBK/ha/year; 8.1 tonnes/ha/year; 2-3 tonnes/ha/harvest; 62.76 tonnes/ha/year; and 2-3 tonnes/ha/year, respectively. Despite its potential as animal feed, the plant needs further processing to reduce the anti-nutrients contained and increase its palatability so that livestock productivity increases.

Gunung Mas District, Central Kalimantan Province, has serious concerns about stunting, with prevalence remaining high at both national and local levels. Stunting, as an indication of chronic malnutrition, requires effective interventions to improve this condition. One strategic effort is through the provision of nutritious complementary foods, with pumpkin as a potential local ingredient. Previous studies have shown that pumpkin is high in nutrients and effective in improving the nutritional status of toddlers. Universitas Palangka Raya, through the UPR 2024 Regular KKN Period I team, conducted education in Belawan Mulia Village to increase the local people's knowledge and skills on pumpkin-based complementary feeding. Implementation methods included education to the local people's forum and village institutions, along with the provision of complementary foods. The program results showed that the use of brochures and stickers were effective in spreading the information. The program succeeded in increasing the local people's knowledge, changing their feeding behavior, and contributing to the reduction of stunting and improvement of children's nutritional status.

The complementary feeding of breast milk is additional food given to infants after the age of 6 months. Although breast milk is the best food for infants, after the age of >6 months, infants require more vitamins, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates. The provision of complementary feeding aims to train and familiarize infants to consume foods that contain the nutrients needed by their bodies as they grow older. This community service activity uses a method of health education through providing information to the community about the importance of nutrition for children to prevent stunting, involving the roles of lecturers, health center officials, cadres, and students as responsible parties in community service. There were 17 mothers of toddlers who participated. With the implementation of community education at the integrated health service post (posyandu) regarding complementary feeding of breast milk for infants aged 6-8 months, the community gains a better understanding of the benefits of complementary feeding for infants aged 6-8 months.
