  1. a, bValues containing different letters in each row are significantly different (P < 0.05)
  2. P2 = phosalone administered in dose of 280 mg/day/ewe; P3 = phosalone (280 mg/ewe/day) and SB (32 g/ewe/day) fed for 63 consecutive days
  3. Phosalone residues not detected in treatment P1 and P4, so they withdrew from the statistical analysis
