Abstrakt:	The effects of three larval diets (beef meat, chicken meat, and beef liver) on development of Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) were evaluated. Egg hatching rates were higher on chicken meat and beef meat (99.5%) than on beef liver (96.5%). Pupation success was higher on chicken meat (99.0%) and beef meat (98.0%) than on beef liver (87.1%). Adult emergence rates were higher in flies reared on chicken meat (99.0%) and beef meat (98.5%) than on beef liver (93.5%). Proportions of female flies were somewhat higher in flies reared on chicken meat or beef meat (54-56% female) than on beef liver (52.5%). Flies that were reared on chicken meat and beef meat had shorter egg-adult development times (16.3 days) than flies reared on beef liver (18.5 days), and the generation time of flies reared on chicken meat or beef meat (51-52 days) was several days shorter than flies reared on beef liver (54 days). Flies reared on chicken meat had larger ovaries and more ovarioles per ovary when larvae were reared on chicken than flies reared on beef meat or beef liver. The ovaries of flies reared on chicken meat had significantly higher amounts of protein (21 mg/g body weight) than flies reared on beef liver (12 mg). Analysis of the larval diets showed that beef liver had the lowest amounts of protein and carbohydrate of the three tested diets, whereas the amounts of lipids did not differ among the diets.
