Abstract:
Larval diet has a great effect on the post-embryonic development of the blowflies. The impact of meat type on some developmental parameters of Chrysomya albiceps (Ch. albiceps) was evaluated, regarding larval and pupal durations, and percentage of pupation and adult emergence. Newly hatched larvae of Ch. albiceps were reared under laboratory conditions of 26 ± 2 °C, 55 ± 10% RH, and 12L:12D photoperiod on beef and chicken meat. Larval duration was significantly different between the two meat types (P = 0.00068), while there was no significant difference in the pupal duration (P = 0.109), percentage of pupation (P = 0.184), and adult emergence (P = 0.347) with the shortest larval and pupal durations and the highest percentage of pupation and adult emergence went to the beef meat reared group. It was concluded that larval rearing medium affects the development rate and survival of larval and pupal stages of Ch. albiceps. Further investigation of the influence of diet on other developmental parameters of Ch. albiceps is suggested.
