These
factors are as follows;
i)
SEASON OF THE YEAR
During harmattan and dry weather,
production is low while sunny weather, production is high.
ii)
TEMPERATURE
Generally,
temperature below 300C affects the maggot yield while temperature at
300C or more encourages high yield.
iii)
HUMIDITY
Production
of maggot is better in humid conditions
iv)
QUANTITY OF FLY ATTRACTANTS/BAITS
The more
the quantity of attractants, the more number of flies and the greater the
number of maggots produced.
v)
Operational
skills can affect the yield of maggot.
vi)
PREDATOR
Rats at night,
lizards and birds in the day, ants if not prevented cover the field of maggots.
