Table 2 Blood biochemistry parameters of birds hatching from enrofloxacin- and marbofloxacin-exposed eggs. Values represent mean ± SD; n = 11, 7 and 6 in control, enrofloxacin- and marbofloxacin-exposed birds, respectively; * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01 (when compared against the control group; as there was no significant difference between the control groups, C1 = untreated control and C2 = sham-treated control eggs (aqua pro injectione) were grouped. Blood samples were obtained from chicks on the day of hatching
