Such group was being adapted for one week and then was given the treatment for three weeks. The analized result using Anova test showed that there was significant different between the amount rest of food and body weight increasing of Rattus norvegicus L given Capsicum frutescens L to each treatment group.

Faktor kesulitan makan pada anak dialami sekitar 25% usia anak, dan jumlah akan meningkat sekitar 40 - 70% pada anak yang lahir prematur atau dengan penyakit kronik. Faktor yang paling banyak menimbulkan kesulitan makan yaitu kurangnya nafsu makan. Kesulitan makan akan menyebabkan berat badan menurun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari serbuk cabai rawit (Capsicum frutescens L) terhadap nafsu makan dan berat badan anak tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus L). Sampel adalah 24 ekor tikus, jantan dan betina, dan dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok. Masing-masing kelompok diberikan serbuk cabai rawit dengan dosis 60 mg/hari/ekor, 90 mg/hari/ekor, 120 mg/hari/ekor, dan kelompok kontrol. Sampel diadaptasikan selama seminggu, kemudian diberi perlakuan selama 3 minggu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat penurunan sisa makanan yang bermakna secara statistik antara jumlah sisa makanan dan peningkatan berat badan Rattus norvegicus L. Serbuk cabai rawit (Capsicum frutescens L) dapat meningkatkan nafsu makan dan berat badan anak tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus L) dengan dosis efektif yaitu 120 mg/hari/ekor untuk meningkatkan nafsu makan dan lebih efektif pada jantan.
