Abstract

Commercially available spray-dried protein sources were evaluated as replacement laboratory cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouché), larval diets for slaughterhouse-collected heat-dried blood. Percentage of adult emergence of fleas reared on adult flea feces (87.7%) and spray-dried bovine blood (79%) did not significantly differ, and yeast supplementation did not significantly increase adult emergence for spray-dried diets. However, yeast supplementation of heat-dried blood increased percentage adult emergence from 0 to 41.7%. Spray-dried bovine blood was found to be a satisfactory laboratory diet for cat flea larvae.

摘要

对市售喷雾干燥蛋白质来源进行了评估，以替代实验室猫蚤（猫栉首蚤指名亚种，Bouché）的幼虫饲料——屠宰场收集的热干燥血液。以成年跳蚤粪便饲养的跳蚤成虫羽化率（87.7%）和喷雾干燥牛血饲养的跳蚤成虫羽化率（79%）无显著差异，并且酵母添加对喷雾干燥饲料的成虫羽化率无显著提高。然而，热干燥血液添加酵母后，成虫羽化率从0%提高到了41.7%。喷雾干燥牛血被发现是猫蚤幼虫令人满意的实验室饲料。
