Figure Lengend Snippet: Facility design for the dose confirmation study. Cages separated by treatment group (Control or Medicated) to reduce possible cross-contamination, and each treatment group organized into four cage blocks with four cages in each block (Control: 1A–4D; Medicated: 5A–8D). Cages A and B were positioned above cages C and D in each cage block, with top and bottom cages separated by a metal shelf. Each cage held four birds with NFM counts on birds balanced across treatment groups, cage blocks, and cages within a block. Care was taken throughout the study to prevent transfer of fluralaner medication or mites among birds in different cage blocks and treatment groups
