Table 1. Changes in daily body weight gain and daily feed intake in mice treated with egg white (EW).
Treat (mg/d) | 0 | 10 | 50 | 100 | DNCB |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Weight gain (g/d) | 0.14±0.01 | 0.12±0.03 | 0.12±0.03 | 0.15±0.04 | 0.11±0.06 |
Feed intake (g/d) | 3.59±0.13 | 3.51±0.12 | 3.53±0.25 | 3.65±0.21 | 4.51±0.30* |
FER | 0.04±0.01 | 0.04±0.01 | 0.03±0.01 | 0.04±0.01 | 0.02±0.01* |
p-values were calculated between 0 mg/d (control) and each EW treatment for 4 wk (*p<0.05, n=10). FER: feed efficiency rate (body weight gain/feed intake); EW: egg white; DNCB: 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene.
