Importance of Nutritional and Physical Characteristics of Diets for Mass Rearing Screwworm & Pink Bollworm Norman C. Leppla, Muhammad F. Chaudhury & Fred D. Stewart University of Florida and USDA
New World Screwworm Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Screwworm Life Cycle Adults Eggs on wound Pupae in ground Larvae in wound
Myiasis in Livestock
Screwworm Larval Media Nutria Whale
Screwworm “Factories” Mission Tuxtla Gutierrez
Water Feeder Mixer Ingredient Feeder Diet preparation
Pumping diet into trays
Tray with larval diet
Larvae falling from trays
Screwworm pupae
Cotton Linter Rearing System
Composition of Larval Diet Spray-dried bovine blood Spray-dried egg Milk substitute Gelling agent (or 6% Cellulose) Water (or 79. 9% with cellulose) Formalin 6% 4% 4% 2% 83. 9% 0. 1%
Spray Dried Whole Bovine Blood l Protein l Fat l Ash l Fiber l Moisture 85% 1% 4. 5% 1% 6%
Egg Powder l Protein 50 -58% l Fat 25 -30% l Moisture 5% or less l Cholesterol trace l Vitamins A, B 1, 2, 6, 12, D, E, Folate, Biotin l Minerals Na, K, Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Cu, Cl, I, Zn
Milk Powder Substitute Protein 20 g Fat 28 g Carbohydrate 42 g Moisture 3 g Ash 3 g Total Vitamins ~1 g A, B 1, B 2, B 3, B 6, B 12, Biotin C, D, E, Folate, Pantothenic acid Minerals ~2. 5 g Calcium, Copper, Iodine, Iron Magnesium, Phosphorous Potassium, Sodium, Zinc
Physical Characteristics Role of gelling agent (or cellulose fiber) - Provide texture and matrix to diet - Gel polymer is not bio-degradable - Cellulose is biodegradable l Importance of viscosity - Larval mobility and growth - Proper functioning of equipment l Importance of p. H - p. H change occurs during feeding - Feeding not effected between 6. 8 & 5. 5 l
Pink Bollworm Pectinophora gossypiella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
Pink Bollworm Life Cycle
Pink Bollworm Rearing Facility
Diet Preparation
Diet Extrusion
Larval Development and Cutout
Collection of Pupae
Larval Diet Composition l Wheat germ l Sugar l Soy flour l Yeast l Anti-microbials (3) l Vitamins(8) l Choline chloride l Red dye
Successful Diet Characteristics l Stimulate l Contain and enable feeding essential nutrients l Organize ingredients in a matrix l Nutrients biologically available
Successful Diet Characteristics • Chemically stable & clean • Eliminate anti-nutrients • Easy to prepare • Easy to discard (biodegradable) • Provides a “happy” home
