Maggot farming is the act of growing maggots for industry.

[58] MDT can be used to treat pressure ulcers, diabetic foot wounds, venous stasis ulcers, and postsurgical wounds. [59]
The size and development stage of maggots can be used to give a measure of the minimum time since death. [9]: 251–252 Insect activity occurs in a series of waves, and identifying the insects present can give additional information on the postmortem interval. [10] Adipocere, or corpse wax, may be formed, inhibiting further decomposition.
