Biodegradation of Abandoned Livestock by Blow Flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Abstract
A possible rapid biodegradation of abandoned livestock was tested by using the dead pig and chicken. The dead pig (36 ㎏) was completely decomposed after 23 days of placement in the open field during June 2007. When the door of a cage in which a dead chicken (3.4 ㎏) was placed was opened, a lot of flies were attracted to the chicken and layed eggs on the chicken. As the result the chicken was decomposed down to 0.6 ㎏ after 6 days of placement in the open field, On the other hand when the door was closed, the decomposition was very slow. The chicken weighed 3.0 ㎏ even after 6 days. An experiment conducted during October 2007 showed that decomposition speed depended on the number of inoculated flies. When 50 pairs of Lucilia sericata flies were inoculated to 3.2 ㎏ chicken, it was decomposed down to 1.0 ㎏ after 22 days in the field. However, when 200 female and 100 male flies were inoculated, the 3.4 ㎏ chicken was decomposed to 0.8 ㎏ after 11 days in the field. A 10,858 pupae (371.2 g) was produced from the latter chicken. These pupae may possibly be used as a feed for fish and fowl. From these results it is considered that further research is needed to commercialize the blow flies for the rapid decomposition of an abandoned livestock of diverse size under diverse environment.
