Hatchability in turkey eggs stored for 15 days prior to setting improves if the incubator temperature during the fi rst 7-14 days of incubation is increased (Christensen and colleagues in 2003).
Add stinky to the list of preferred fly aromas and a dirty chicken butt is a recipe for flystrike. After the fly eggs are laid on or in the skin, the larvae can hatch into maggots in less than 24 hours; the maggots then begin feeding on the skin, causing deep, painful sores that can become infected.
4) A subsequent tsetse fly becomes infected by ingesting a blood meal that contains the trypanosomes from the infected host. 5) In the gut of the fly, the trypanosomes transform into procyclic trypmastigotes that divide for 10 days.
