[The absolute number of the stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans) in the buildings of dairy farms].

In order to estimate the absolute number of Stomoxys calcitrans subpopulation in housings of a dairy farm the capture-mark-recapture method has been used. It has been established that the absolute number of S. calcitrans subpopulation can be as high as 100,000 specimens per a farmyard. The possibilities of using indices of the relative number of flies (caught on fly-paper) for estimation of the absolute number of these insects in the housings of farms have been found out.
