Abstract

Livestock farming, which is a sub-sector of agriculture, is a rapidly growing activity, with a contribution of about 4.5% to agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) and 2% to total GDP. The objective of this work was to inventory the insects associated with the litter of poultry farm buildings with automatic watering in Côte d'Ivoire. To achieve this objective, 60 buildings were prospected in two areas. Overall, 120 buildings constituting 1080 excavation squares of 0.1 m2 each were sampled in the North and South zones. The collected litter was searched using flexible forceps. The insects have been identified under binocular magnifying glass. In total, 16 species of insect belonging to five families grouped into two orders (Coleoptera and Hymenoptera) have been identified, including 11 in the North and 12 in the South. Carcinops pumilio (Histeridae) was the most abundant species with 64.09% of the total number. Shannon and Equitability indices were higher in the North zone (H' = 1.62 and E = 0.67) than those in the South zone (H' = 1.37 and E = 0.30).
