[QUOTE="novatech, post: 758308, member: 5494"] Just playing devil's advocate here. In my area the lowly pill bug does more to break down the manure pile than dung beetles. The economic value of worming your cattle far out weighs the contribution of the dung beetle. The long term effects of not worming can leave scar tissue in the rumen wall which may decline the efficiency and longevity of the cow over time. The more important questions for choosing a worming medication are; What worms will it kill and does it last long enough to breakup the cycle killing newly hatched eggs. [/QUOTE]
