Summary of the sample size (n), mean (±SE) (at the final capture) and test statistics of selected serum chemistry and haematological parameters for control and anthelmintic-treated juvenile eastern grey kangaroos at the Anglesea Golf Club, Victoria, Australia, from May to September 2012. The statistical power of this experiment to detect a significant difference between treatment and control groups was calculated for effect sizes of 20% and 80%.
