Abstract. The purpose of determination of the number and species composition of flies in the conditions of the Khatasskiy pig complex in the summer. Methods. In the summer of 2022, studies were conducted at the Khatasskiy pig complex to determine the number of flies. The number of flies was counted in three workshops: fattening, reproductive and rearing. Traps in the form of sticky tapes 84 cm long were installed in each workshop. The number of flies caught on insect glue traps was counted after 24 hours in a laboratory setting. Data analysis was carried out according to the method of V. N. Beklemishev. The unit for recording the number of flies was a glue trap with an exposure of 24 hours. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the obtained materials for the first time determined the number and species composition of flies in the Khatasskiy pig complex of Yakutia in the summer. Results. Since February 2005, Khatasskiy pig complex LLC has been registered in Yakutia and is still successfully operating. It is known that the pig farms of the complex are home to a cluster of larvae and adult flies. Maximum 6077 flies were caught per day using glue traps placed at a height of 2–3 m in the pig farms. The species of flies were determined using the identification guides of G. Ya. Bey-Bienko and an MBS-10 microscope. Five species of zoophilic flies belonging to four families were identified in the republic's pig-breeding complex. The average number of flies in the rearing shop is 22.9 ± 5.977, in the reproduction shop – 69.8 ± 9.57, in the fattening shop – 497.3 ± 136.5. The economic effect of protecting animals from fly attacks per 1 ruble of costs is 44.2 rubles.
