Body weight characteristic, food and water intake, and feed efficiency ratio of sample mice.
Groups | A | B | C | D | p-value∗∗ |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Initial Body Weight (g) | 22.21 ± 0.40 | 21.49 ± 0.51 | 22.3 ± 0.41 | 22.46 ± 0.47 | 0.456 |
Final Body Weight (g) | 23.53 ± 0.42 | 30.17 ± 0.20 | 23.7 ± 0.48 | 25.16 ± 0.61 | 0.000 |
p-value∗ | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.004 | 0.001 | |
Weight Gain (g/day) | 0.05 ± 0.01 | 0.31 ± 0.07 | 0.05 ± 0.04 | 0.09 ± 0.03 | 0.000 |
Food Intake (g) | 4.38 ± 0.63 | 4.78 ± 0.77 | 4.54 ± 0.58 | 4.56 ± 0.62 | 0.599 |
Water Intake (mL) | 5.15 ± 0.34 | 5.20 ± 0.29 | 5.24 ± 0.56 | 5.20 ± 0.54 | 0.973 |
FER (%) [1] | 1.11 ± 0.46 | 6.51 ± 1.59 | 1.03 ± 0.74 | 2.13 ± 0.77 | 0.000 |
Paired T-Test was conducted to determine the significant difference between initial body weight (g) and Final Body Weight (g) of each group. ∗∗ One-Way ANOVA was conducted to determine the significant difference of each parameter (Initial Body Weight (g), Final Body Weight (g), Weight Gain (g/day), Food Intake (g), Water Intake (mL) dan Food efficiency Ratio (FER, %) of each group [1]. Food Efficiency Ratio (FER, %) = (Body weight gain (g/day)/food intake (g/day))×100.
