“…A total of 420 one-day-old broilers were used in 2 × 2 factorial arrangements with 2 levels of SD (low: 9 birds/ m2 and high: 17 birds/ m2) and 2 levels of omega-3 fatty acids (low and high omega-3; 0.057 and 0.5% of the diet, respectively) in a completely randomized design with 5 replicates for each treatment. Live body weight (LBW), feed intake (FI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were recorded periodically. …”

“…This increase may be due to the inability of parasitic lice to survive without a host, whereas booklice have a wide range of feeding habits and live in complex and variable environments. Furthermore, we observed that the IR gene family in L. tricolor has undergone a certain degree of amplification, which may facilitate its adaptation to diverse environmental conditions. …”
