[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 1754537, member: 4203"] just remember igr products also disrupt the cycle of beneficial insects that help break down manure, such as dung beetles. I am lucky to live in a mostly dry climate where insects/flies are a little less of a problem so I understand the need for doing something, but I will never forget seeing a print add for some product like that that showed a picture of a manure pile and called it a "tombstone" for flies. sorry, I prefer it to break down and help the soil. don't want to kill those bugs. instead of selecting for black hides we should maybe think more about selecting for resistance to flies/parasites.
