The research aims to find out the nutritional content of bilis fish flour. This research is a descriptive study by testing the content of nutrients in bilis fish flour which includes zinc, fat, protein, carbohydrates, calories, ash content, and water content in 100 grams of bilis fish flour. Laboratory test results obtained zinc content of 166.8375 mg/kg, protein 63.0%, fat 8.84%, carbohydrates 34.03%, water content 9.27%, ash content 13.74% and calories 467.68%. The high levels of Zinc in bilis fish flour are useful for increasing the metabolism of children's growth hormone, appetite, and body immune, so that children don't get sick easily., lemak, protein, karbohidrat, kalori, kadar abu, dan kadar air dalam 100 gram tepung ikan bilih.
