Quantification of horn fly blood meals collected
from selected breeds of beef cattle. Research led
by C. D. Steelman in cooperation with Dr. A. L.
Szalanski, Department of Entomology and Dr. A. H.

a horn fly resistant herd of cows. Cooperative Project
with USDA,ARS,Knipling-Busland U.S. Livestock Insects
Research Laboratory, Kerrville, TX. And the Russell
Ranch, Kerrville, TX.
- Determine
levels of anti-coagulant pro-thrombin in the blood
of selected breeds of beef cattle relative to innate
horn fly resistance.
  LIVESTOCK

USDA,
SARE GRANT –
- Determine
seasonal occurrence of natural populations of pupal
parasites (Muscidifurax, Spalangia etc.) on dairy
farms.
- Determine

to manage house fly and
 black
garbage flies on dairy farms.
- Determine
seasonal occurrence of pathogens, E. coli,0157:H7
