Molluscs are invertebrates that form one of the largest groups in the animal kingdom, with more than 100,000 known species. A wide range of molluscs including families of Pulmonata, Gastropoda, Planorbidae and Lymnaeidae are intermediate hosts of trematodes. The snail Lymnaea stagnalis belongs to the family Lymnaeidae under the order Basommatophora-class Pulmonata is known to be an intermediate host of several parasites such as Chaetogaster limnaei which belongs to the annelid family, Naididae, an ecologically div...

Use of fish meals or oils in the poultry diets has made it possible to increase the level of long chain n-3 fatty acids in meat. When meat is enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), all vegatble fat sources are less effective than marine fats. This effect results due to the content of n-3 fatty acids (FA) because marine fats or oils are composed of eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and dosahexaenoic acid in generally a higher proportion whereas vegatable oils contain linolenic acid (LNA) whose conversion to lon...
