HB: haemoglobin; HCT: haematocrit; WBC: white blood cell count; RBC: red blood cell count; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; MCH: mean corpuscular haemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration; PLT: platelet. Means with different letters in a row differ, p < 0.05. N = normal/standard rat chow, PB = plain biscuits, FB = biscuits fortified with PWL and OFSP, PWB = biscuits fortified with PWL only, and SPB = biscuits fortified with OFSP only.
