Abstract

The present study was conducted for one year (from February 2012 to January 2013) to survey mites inhabiting organic manures of some domestic animals (Buffalos, Cows, Sheep, Goats, Rabbits and Poultry) in Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal University, Ismailia governorate. The study revealed the presence of 21 mite species, belonging to 16 families and 4 suborders (Acaridida, Actinedida, Gamasida and Oribatida). Dominance of the relative abundance and Shannon-Wiener index were calculated for mite communities. Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Shrank) was the dominant species within all manures examined. The poultry manure harbored the highest numbers of mite species (S = 13), while the rabbit manure harbored the lowest (S = 4). On the other hand, Macrocheles mascadomesticae (Scopoli), and Cheyltus malaccensis Oudemans, were the widespread species inhabiting most of the examined animal manurs.
