Population In Poultry Farms.

Abstract
House flies is the most important pest in poultry units. This study aimed to
predict the population changes of house fly population and propose a control threshold,
to evaluate the effectiveness of selected insecticide by comparing their LC50 between
susceptible and wild strain, to determine the half-life and degradation rates of
insecticides by spiking these insecticides into poultry manure, and to study the
interaction between the Metarhizium. anisopliae (MET.) and the insecticides in order
to control the house fly population. Population changes of house fly was first defined
the knee points of a known population growth curve as a control threshold by
comparing the rm of five densities of house flies in a simulated condition. Later, to
understand the interactions between the larval and adult populations, the correlation
between larval and adult capacity rate (rc) was studied.
