program is an aid to the diagnosis and control of insect, mite, and rodent
pests in poultry production (on the birds and in the housing). The file, PPES30.exe
is a self-extracting executable. The program was developed by R.C. Axtell
and others at North Carolina State University. The file is less than 700 KB
and will fit on a standard 1.44 Mb floppy disk.
- Livestock Pest Expert System (LPES). This
program is an aid to the diagnosis and control of insect, mite, and rodent
pests in livestock production (beef, dairy, swine and sheep). The file, LPES11.exe,
is a self-extracting executable. The program was developed by R.C. Axtell
at North Carolina State University. The file is less than 750 KB and will

- Fly Management Simulator (FMS). This program
calculates populations of the house fly in confined animal facilities under
varying conditions including the presence of predators and parasites, as well
as chemical and cultural control measures. The file, FMS13.exe, is a self-extracting
executable. The program was developed by L. R. Wilhoit, R. E. Stinner, and
R. C. Axtell at North Carolina State University. The file is less than 450
KB and will fit on a standard 1.44 Mb floppy disk. The
source code is written in C and is also available to programmers in self-extracting
form. The source code is NOT needed to run FMS and is provided only
as a courtesy to fellow modelers. The source files for the C code do not include
the proprietary user interface.
