The data were analyzed using two way-ANOVA and Tukey’s Post hoc test which is incorporated in SPSS statistical software. Superscripts A, B and C shows differences in columns and a, b, c, d in rows. Mean bearing at least one common superscript didn’t show any difference. FD = effect within days (D), FG = effect within groups (G), FDG = interaction within days and groups *<0.05, **<0.01.
