These 'movers and shakers' help livestock producers by providing biological pest control and remove breeding sites for pest insects and nematodes.

Dung beetles are classified into three categories: rollers, tunnelers and dwellers. Each type plays an important part in managing and dispersing manure in pastures and prairies.

Dwellers aid in nutrient cycling by breaking down and burying animal waste. The waste has essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that get returned to the soil.

Tunnelers in particular improve soil aeration allowing for better air and water circulation. This aeration gives the soil the ability to hold more moisture especially helpful during dry times. Tunnelers also help relieve soil compaction which in turn helps plants' roots with favorable growing conditions. This activity increases water filtration preventing water runoff.

All three types of dung beetles help reduce fly populations by removing fly breeding habitat, reduce other pests by consuming dung and their natural habits can help reduce the spread of parasites.
