Abstract
1. 1. Adult stable flies were fed blood meal diets of freeze-dried bovine or porcine blood, or fresh bovine or porcine blood, for ten consecutive generations; the reproductive performance of adults fed freeze-dried or fresh porcine blood was significantly higher ( P < 0.05) than that of adults fed freeze-dried or fresh bovine blood. 2. 2. Quantitative analyses of cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipid phosphorus, phospholipid classes, and fatty acid composition of the diet were made. 3. 3. There was no direct correlation between the percentage distribution of lipid classes and the fecundity of flies. However, the locations of phosphatidyl choline and sphingomyelin within the blood components may be a factor in the diet.
