A survey of three insect orders (Diptera, Coleoptera, and Collembola) and four soil mite suborders (Actinedida, Gamasida, Acaridida, and Oribatida) associated with buffalo and sheep dung and rabbit litter, was carried out from of 1989 to August or 1990 in Menoufia region. Obtained results revealed that the population of three insect orders vary considerably from/month to another. It appeared that dipterous fly species have two or three periods of high population in the three kinds of farm animal dung, The occurrence of coleopteran species was higher in buffalo dung than that in rabbit litter. While sheep dung contains a few numbers, The population density of collembolan insects was high in buffalo dung, having obvious population fluctuations from season to another. Relatively low population of collembolans was observed in sheep dung, but not recorded in rabbit litter. Actinedida, Gamasida and Acaridida mites have one or two periods of high population in the three animal manures under consideration, while oribatid mites were acres. The highest total umbers of aetlnedid mites were found in rabbit litter, as well as of gamasid and acaridida mites in buffalo manure.
