Females of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, exploit sheep dung as a source of protein for egg development. Flies fed on dung collected from sheep 1 to 6 days after being drenched with the broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug ivermectin showed delayed reproductive development and reduced fecundity. Male and female survival was also reduced. Despite these effects, except where the recommended frequency of drenching (1 to 4 times per annum) is greatly exceeded, it is unlikely that ivermectin residues will affect any useful reduction in blowfly populations.
澳大利亚绵羊绿蝇（Lucilia cuprina）的雌性利用羊粪作为卵发育的蛋白质来源。以从用广谱抗寄生虫药物伊维菌素灌药后1至6天的绵羊收集的粪便为食的苍蝇，其生殖发育延迟，繁殖力降低。雌雄苍蝇的存活率也降低了。尽管有这些影响，但除非大大超过推荐的灌药频率（每年1至4次），伊维菌素残留不太可能对绿蝇种群的任何有效减少产生影响。
