Mulesing essay Bonnie Stewart 11486711 Molly Vardanega 11486712 Introduction To control flystrike we would perform mulesing in a safe and sanitary environment using suitable pain relief and if needed, veterinary guidance. Mulesing, developed in 1927 by John Mules, is a routine husbandry procedure performed, mostly on merino sheep in Australia, during the cooler months of the year to avoid attracting more flies (Mulesing of Sheep, n.d.). It involves cutting a slice of skin from each side of the buttocks
have learned that the most valuable thing bugs bring to the table is being able to get an accurate time of death (TOD). There are a few different types of insects that are used when looking at the TOD of a body. The most common insects used are Calliphoridae or blowflies, and Coleoptera or beetles [2]. These two bugs are used in two very different ways and methods. Not only are the methods used different but also they are used at different time intervals of finding a corpse. The blowflies are generally
Forensic entomology is most commonly used in suspicious criminal cases. P.C. White (2010) suggests that insects are responsive to certain stimuli and from this we are able to capture an insight into an insects contribution to crime solving. We can determine many different aspects of a case by the presence of different insects colonising a dead body, blowflies for example, are the first to approach the body when its fresh. This is due to their preference of food sources. Ultimately, I will explicitly
victim and the suspect, as well as to assist in the collection of DNA samples. The insects that have forensic importance among others includes various types of Flies (order Diptera) and beetles (order Coleoptera). For examples, Blow Flies (Family Calliphoridae), Holarctic Blue Bow Flies (Calliphora vomitoria), Oriential Latrine Flies (Chrysomya megacephala), Carrion beetles, Rove beetles, Hide Beetles and Sap beetles (Byrd & Castner, 2001; Norm, 1971). When carrying out a forensic entomology analysis
significant to forensic entomology. They are primarily from the species of the order Diptera (flies) and Coleoptera (beetles). Insects mainly involved in the criminal investigations are true flies or Diptera. The predominant species in this order are Calliphoridae (blow flies), Sacrophagidae (flesh flies) and Muscidae (house flies). Blow flies and flesh flies may reach within minutes following death while house flies delay colonization until the body reaches bloat stages of
Insect as pollinator Pollination is the movement of pollen from the male segment to segment of female of the flower. Entomophily is a process in which insects transfer a pollens from one plant flower to other plant flower. Influenced of pollinators 35 % in the food of world in the production of crop.
