Table 4 The effect of extracts on the body weight, weight gain, food intake and feed efficiency body weight gain = final body weight - initial body weight

Group	Dose (mg/kg)	Food intake (g/day)	Initial body weight (g)	Final body weight (g)	Body weight gain(g)	Feed efficiency ratio (FER)

FER (Food Efficiency Ratio) = body weight gain (g/day)/food intake (g/day). Values were express as the mean ± SD. The effects of samples were compared by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Duncan’s multiple range test. Values with different letters of the column are significantly different (p < 0.05) based on one-way ANOVA post-hoc Ducan Multiple Range tests.
