  1. *Group I: control, Group II: 62.5 mg/kg b.w cypermethrin, Group III: 125 mg/kg b.w cypermethrin, Group IV: 250 mg/kg b.w cypermethrin. F.C: feed consumption. For each group, 210 g of feed was put into the cages weekly. Values are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 6). Data were analyzed with SPSS computer program using Duncan test and ANOVA variance analysis. The averages shown with different letters(a–d) on the same line are statistically significant (p < 0.05).
