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.
