Economic Impact

Poultry Farms

On poultry farms, heavy fly infestations can mean more time spent cleaning eggs to remove fly specks, and possibly downgrading egg quality.
 

Fly maggots have a negative impact on poultry manure quality due to liquefaction, which also fosters the release of ammonia -responsible for increased chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), increased corrosion and increased ventilation costs.
 

Fly treatment has been shown to result in a marked improvement in egg production (Abrams, 1976).

Flies may be small but they are capable of causing untold damage, especially to animals such as cattle, swine and poultry which are traditionally farmed in large numbers.
