Manifestation of protein energy malnutrition is decreasing haemoglobin synthesis. One of alternatife high protein sources is a snail (Achatina fulica). Snail powder have 58,13% protein per 100 gram. This research to knowing effect of snail powder on haemoglobin levels of strain wistar rats with non protein diet. The treatment used in this reasearch are give the rats with snail powder contain 4% protein, 19% protein, and 50 % protein within 4 group of strain wistar rats which is given non protein diet along 12 days. The result are high protein snail powder (50%) have sinificant effect to increasing the level of haemoglobin (p<0.05). Data show that non protein diet decreases haemoglobin level and high protein diet on snail powder can increased haemoglobin levels in all groups. This research show that snail powder effected to increasing haemoglobin levels on strain wistar rats with non protein diet.
