CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What is the use of raising flies?

1. What is the use of raising flies?

The main reason for raising flies is because of their economic value.

Flies are full of treasures. For example, larvae and maggots are good high-protein feed, which can improve the quality of breeding and increase the benefits of breeding. Maggots raised with bran can also be eaten by humans. They can strengthen the body.

Chitin and chitosan can be extracted from the epidermis of maggots. They are compatible with the human body and have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and hemostatic properties. They can be made into artificial skin and sutures. After the wound heals, there is no need to remove the stitches as they can naturally integrate into the human body.

2. Online teaching of artificial fly maggot breeding technology

Professor Lei from the College of Plant Science and Technology of Huazhong Agricultural University has been studying flies for 30 years. He should have what you want.

3. The growth process of flies

Maggots are fly larvae

1. Growth of fly maggots

The growth and development of houseflies can be divided into four stages: egg, maggot, pupa, and fly. Each generation takes 12 to 15 days, and 24 generations can be reproduced in a year. Among them, eggs hatch into maggots after 12 to 24 hours; maggots turn into pupae after 5 to 7 days; and pupae turn into flies after 3 to 5 days. Male flies die after mating, but female flies can live for 30 to 60 days and lay 1,500 eggs in their lifetime. If conditions are suitable, a pair of houseflies can produce 200 billion offspring in one summer.

2. Physiological habits of fly maggots

The optimum temperature for the growth of maggots is 26℃ ~ 35℃. They stop developing below 13℃ and gradually die at temperatures below 8℃ or above 43℃.
