Dairy Cattle Manure Raw sequence reads

House fly larvae requires live bacteria for their survival and development. Being microbe rich, cattle manure serves a suitable developmental substrate for success of house fly larval development. Little is known about the impact on microbial communities by house fly larval grazing. This project investigated the changes in manure bacterial, archaeal and eukaryal community structure and diversity in response to house fly larval feeding in dairy cattle manure through complete larval development by comparing microbial communities and diversity in three manure types: fresh; aged (manure incubated for 10 days which was age-matched to larval grazed manure); larval grazed (fresh manure supplemented with house fly eggs and incubated until the end of the larval developmental period, achieved in 10 days) manure.
