Abstract | ||
The effect of different nutritional diets, bovine (b.) meat, bovine (b.) liver, chicken and fish on The concentration of inorganic cations, Na+, K+, Ca+, Mg++, and Fe++ in the haemolymph of the Prepupae of both flies Lucilia sericata and ChrySomya albiceps were studied. The cation Na+ increased in haemolymph of prepupae of L. sericata when its larvae were fed on all four diets Especially in case of bovine liver. However K+ Increased in haemolymph of prepupae when larvae were fed on bovine meat. Ca++ was higher Than Mg++ and Fe++ in case of larvae fed bovine liver. Similar results were obtained in case Of C. albiceps. The cations Na+ and K+ increased in concentration after feeding on bovine Liver diet. Also Na+ was higher in larvae fed on other diets. In all cases K+ was always lower Than Na+. The cations Mg++ and Fe++ were the Least. Ca++ was higher in Larvae fed on bovine Meat and bovine liver than in case of larvae fed On fish and chicken. | ||
