Abstract
IT is common practice in Uganda to house cattle during the hottest part of the day, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. (approximately 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. sun time), primarily to protect them from irritation caused by the biting fly Stomoxys sp. Although no factual evidence is available, it is generally assumed that where cattle are left out continuously much of the observed loss of condition can be ascribed to this annoyance. Were this housing unnecessary it might be possible to avoid, not only the added expense, but also the inconvenience caused by extra herding on extensive ranching systems.
