CON = control; AMR = Allium mongolicum Regel; AWE = the water-soluble extract of AMR; AFE = the fat-soluble extract of AMR; T-SOD = total superoxide dismutase; MDA = malonaldehyde; CAT = catalase; GSH-Px = glutathione peroxidase.
a, b, c Within a row, means with different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05) as determined by Tukey's test.
CON group was fed the basal diet.
AMR group was fed the basal diet supplemented with AMR at 10 g/d per lamb.
AWE group was fed the basal diet supplemented with AWE at 3.4 g/d per lamb.
AFE group was fed the basal diet supplemented with AFE at 2.8 g/d per lamb.
