When the dung beetles have left the earthworms move in & continue eating & processing the dung leaving worm casts for yet more fertiliser

When dung beetles bring dung down into tunnels they're putting down fertiliser & making holes/tunnels aiding water penetration when it rains

Dung without dung beetles processing it will take time to slowly degrade & result in pasture fouling which is grazing/productivity loss...

Dung beetle tunnelling increases soil aeration, allows water to penetrate & reduces rainfall run-off
