Abstract
Flies are the main negative indicator of poor production hygiene. At livestock farms and complexes
of the Yukhnovsky district of the Kaluga region, a significant part of livestock products
is lost due to the parasitism of harmful insects, namely flies.
The article describes some of the features of the fauna and ecology of flies distributed on the
territory of the UGRA KSP in the city of Yukhnov. The dominant species is Musca domestica domestica
(ID 81,62%), the subdominant species are Protophormia terrae-novae (ID 13,97%), Muscina
stabulans (ID 0,94%), Calliphora uralensis (ID 0,86%), Fannia canicularis (ID 0,86%); small numbers
– Calliphora vicina (ID – 0,68%), Lucilla sericata (ID – 0,45%), Sehokhus urticae (ID – 0,34%),
Themira putris (ID – 0,18%) and Ravinia striata (ID – 0,15%).
Diptera of the family Muscidae (ID 71,8%) dominate on pastures, while Caliphoridae (16,9%)
and Sarcofagidae (6,2%) are subdominant. In the first family, the housefly is most widespread (ID –
21,6%), followed by Musca osiris (pasture – 8,4%).
The total duration of the summer of the main species of zoophilic flies in their habitats ranges
from 100 to 150 days.
