Abstract

A total of 60 children in the age group of 7-9 years, belonging to low income group of rural areas in Ludhiana district were screened for their haemoglobin and surveyed for their food intake before and after nutritional intervention. All the children were dewormed before feeding trial. Half of the subjects were taken as the control and the remaining half were fed with supplementary products namely ladoo, biscuits, matri and seviyaan, providing 400 kcal energy, 8.6 g of protein, 1269µg of beta carotene, 34 mg of vitamin C, 167 mg calcium and 7.7 mg of iron per day for 120 effective days. Supplementary feeding showed a significant increase in haemoglobin levels and weights of the experimental group children, thereby reducing prevalence of protein energy malnutrition among them.
