IW | FW | WGR | SGR | RFI | FCR | |
DFO | 0.24 ± 0.001 | 9.4 ± 0.17a | 3859.7 ± 112.0a | 5.93 ± 0.05a | 5.88 ± 0.03b | 1.92 ± 0.01b |
DSO | 0.24 ± 0.001 | 12.4 ± 0.21b | 4963.0 ± 61.6b | 6.33 ± 0.02b | 4.55 ± 0.37a | 1.47 ± 0.12a |

IW, initial weight; FW, final weight; WGR, weight gain rate (%) = (Wt–W0) × 100/W0; SGR, specific growth rate (% day–1) = (LnWt–LnW0) × 100/day; FCR, feed conversion ratio = feed consumption (g)/weight gain (g); RFI, relative feed intake (%/day) = 100 × total amount of the feed consumed × 2/[(W0 + Wt) × days]. Values are means ± SEM (n = 3). Means in the same column with different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05).
