Dung Beetle Benefits in the Pasture Ecosystem (Summary)
Dung Beetle Benefits in the Pasture Ecosystem (Summary)
Dung
beetles play a small but remarkable role in the pasture ecosystem.
They feed on manure, use it to provide housing and food for their
young, and improve nutrient cycling, soil structure, and forage
growth in the meantime. This publication describes dung beetles
and their benefits to pastures, and offers management information.
It also offers information about building a dung beetle "farm."
