Means with different superscript letters within treatments and sex in the same row, differ significantly (P < 0.05). ALT = alanine aminotransferase, ALP = alkaline phosphatase, GGT= gamma- glutamyl transferase. T₁ = 71% Vigna hay, 19% Katambora hay, salt (0.5%), molasses (3%) maize (5%) and mineral vitamin premix (1.5%); T₂= 90% lamb and ewe pellet plus 10% Katambora grass hay; T₃ = 72% Lablab hay 19% Katambora hay, salt (0.5%), molasses (2%) maize (5%) and mineral vitamin premix (1.5%).
