Horn flies, Haematobia irritans irritans (Linneaus) (Diptera: Muscidae) were reared in vitro using cattle, pig, horse, rabbit, sheep, goat or chicken blood. The highest survival, bloodmeal size and rate of ovarian development were recorded for both female and male flies fed cattle blood. Flies fed pig, rabbit, sheep and goat blood showed intermediate survival. Flies fed chicken blood showed the lowest survival rates, ingested the smallest bloodmeals and did not develop ovaries. The relationship between dietary factors and host specificity of the horn fly, and the efficiency of vertebrate blood source of several animals for laboratory colonization of horn fly are discussed.
角蝇，即血红血蝇（Haematobia irritans irritans (Linneaus)）（双翅目：蝇科），使用牛、猪、马、兔、羊、山羊或鸡血在体外饲养。取食牛血的雌雄角蝇均记录到最高的存活率、血餐量和卵巢发育率。取食猪、兔、羊和山羊血的角蝇存活率中等。取食鸡血的角蝇存活率最低，摄取的血餐最小且卵巢未发育。本文讨论了饮食因素与角蝇宿主特异性之间的关系，以及几种动物的脊椎动物血液来源对实验室饲养角蝇的效率。
