On poultry farms, heavy fly infestations can mean more time spent cleaning eggs to remove fly specks, and possibly downgrading egg quality.
Fly maggots have a negative impact on poultry manure quality due to liquefaction, which also fosters the release of ammonia -responsible for increased chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), increased corrosion and increased ventilation costs.
Fly treatment has been shown to result in a marked improvement in egg production (Abrams, 1976).
