Today I am going to talk about how to control horn flies with dung beetles in 5 steps, and the importance of not using insecticides on our land or on our livestock. This is essential as there are always unintended consequences when we try to stop a problem (horn fly) with insecticides. Research has proven that without dung beetles there is a 30% reduction in forage production due to the dung not being buried and its nutrients volatilizing to the air. This means you can increase your pasture productivity and stocking rate just by having a healthy dung beetle population. What does this mean to your bottom line? A huge deal! It is very profitable to stop using insecticide and find a way to increase your dung beetle population! Checkout this very valuable podcast and let me know what you think.
