Fig. 1.
Bars shows the worm numbers as percentage. Comparison done by substrate types and each bar belongs to different feed treatment. The zero point (-) of the graph is initial worm density (7 worms/100 cm3). Lines on the bars shows errors and letters represents the significant differences between treatments (p-value given in the text as they are differentiated according to the experimental group).

Proximate composition of the four group in dry weight basis which were yielded enough to conduct composition analysis. The letters above the bars represents significance.
