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

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.
