Manure Management

Introduction

The system of manure management is a major factor in determining fly abundance. Two extremes exist: frequent manure removal and prolonged manure accumulation.
 

When manure is frequently and regularly removed completely, there is no medium for fly breeding in the animal facilities.
 

Alternatively, if manure is allowed to accumulate and is regularly trampled and compacted, it becomes an unsuitable medium for fly breeding.

  Integrated fly control means using a two-pronged attack on flies: larvicides to prevent fly larvae developing into adults, and adulticides to kill adult flies.

There are thousands of different fly species but the ones which most seriously affect farm animals are the house fly (Musca domestica), the little house fly (Fannia canicularis) and the stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans).
