BW, body weight; BWG, body weight gain; FCR, feed conversion rate.

BW and BWG values were reported as mean±standard deviation, n = 50 per group.

FCR was measured by total amount of feed consumption by the total weight gain from all RFCs in the group.

Means are significantly different when compared to the control (p<0.05).
