Dung Beetles:
Imagine a farm machine that…
* Aerates the soil
* Breaks up dung pads
* Buries manure in the plant root zone
* Deepens topsoil
* Reduces bush fly and parasite breeding
* Works all year round
* Doesn’t use fossil fuels
Who needs them?
* Compacted Soil?
* Fouled Pastures?
* Algal Blooms?
* Plagues of Bushflies?
* Chronic Parasite Problems?
* Low Soil Organic Matter?
The Bubas Bison is a Winter / Spring active species and can fill a gap to achieve year round coverage.
