Lancaster Farming, Saturday. Dec. 14,1974 —
Hormones in_.Feed
Kill Flies
Two new, synthetic hor
mones offer promise of
controlling flies more ef
fectively than any similar
materials tested, according
to experiments reported
recently by a U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture (USDA)
scientists.
Dr. Richard W. Miller, an
animal scientist of USDA’s
Agricultural Research
Service (ARS), Beltsville,
Md., described tests with a
number of insect hormone
mimics incorporated in the
feed of dairy cows and
chickens, at the annual
meeting of the En
tomological Society of
America.
Normally, flies lay their
eggs in manure and the
immature insects develop to
maturity there. The im
mature stages are difficult to
kill because they burrow
within the manure, and thus
are protected from direct
contact with conventional
insectiddes.
The synthetic hormones
pass through the animals’
and birds’ digestive systems
into the droppings. “The
experimental hormones
permeate the manure,” Dr.
Miller said. “The two most
effective hormones killed 100
percent of the flies. These
results were obtained with
the four most important
species of flies: Face, horn,
house, and stable flies.”
Dr. Meyer Schwarz, an
ARS chemist at Beltsville,
synthesized the hormones
used in these test*. The most
effective hormone is derived
from terpene chemicals,
used commercially in per
fumes. Therefore it would be
expected to be less expensive
149,415 in ’73. The number of
volunteer leaders has more
than tripled in the past 20
years. There is also sub
stantial involvement and
assistance to 4-H programs
by resource people,
business, industry, and
agricultural and civic
groups.
than other synthetic hor
mones that require more
complicated manufacturing
processes.
These chemicals appear to
be readily degradable and
therefore no adverse effects
on the health of humans,
livestock, or wild animals is
anticipated. No undesirable
effects have been observed
on cows or chickens used in
the experiments. However,
additional research is
necessary to provide the
data needed on residues, if
any, in milk, meat and eggs.
