Means with the same superscripts as control across the rows are not significantly different (P>0.05). WBC: White blood cell, RBC: Red blood cell, PCV: Packed cell volume, Hb: Haemoglobin, MCV: Mean corpuscular volume, MCH: Mean corpuscular haemoglobin, MCHC: Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, and LUC: Large unstained cell.
