Popis:	Commercially prepared spore powders containing 3 × 109, 25 × 109 and 47 × 109 spores of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner per gram were fed in the ration of caged layers. There was considerable variation in fly ( Musca domestica L.) control obtained in the droppings when the different formulations were fed at the same spore levels. A reduction in feed consumption, body weight and egg production of caged layers was noted when the most effective material (Rohm & Haas) was fed in the ration at and above 53 × 106 spores per gram of feed.
