Dumaop This study sought to find the differences between vegetarian and non- vegetarian rodents in terms of growth and health. The researcher measured growth by means of weight and body length, and health measured through urinalysis and stool analysis conducted by a Medical Technologist. Since experimental design is not possible, the researcher employed causal- comparative study. The study set 16 white mice exposed to two situational cases First case is being vegetarian and the second case is being non- vegetarian. Significant differences were observed in the average gain in weight of white mice. The mean of weight of non- vegetarian mice is 1.51 grams heavier than of the vegetarian mice. Probability value 3.70 is greater than critical value at 0.05 level (P>0.05). No significant differences were observed in the average increase in body length of white mice. The mean of body length of non-vegetarian mice is 0.46 cm longer than that of the vegetarian mice. Probability value 0.36 is less than critical value at 0.05 level (P<0.05). Significant differences were observed in the health differences between vegetarian and non- vegetarian mice. Six (6) white mice in vegetarian group are in good condition and only three (3) white mice in non- vegetarian groups are in good condition too. While only two (2) white mice in vegetarian group are in bad condition compared to five (5) mice in non- vegetarian group. Probability value 3.43 is greater than critical value at 0.10 level (P>0.10). The researcher therefore concludes that gaining weight and increasing body length cannot be role basis of being healthy. The same way with having lower weight and shorter body does not mean the mice are unhealthy.
