Description

The relation between the seasonal and daily abundance of flies (such as horse fly, stable fly and so on) attacking the grazing cattle and the number of times for swishing the flies with the tail, the number of times for sweeping the flies by the legs was investigated. The number of attacking flies was the most abundant at day-light in the summer, no flies at night and winter. There was a positive correlation between fly abundance and frequency of swishing flies with the tail, that of driving away flies with legs.
