A pioneering West Australian farmer is combining cattle manure, exotic dung beetles, and biochar to help combat the effects of climate change as well as tackling soil health issues.
WA farmer Doug Pow feeds biochar to his cattle, and uses dung beetles to work the resultant manure into the soil.
He says it reduces greenhouse gases, while improving soil fertility as well as the health of his cattle.
A CSIRO scientist also says there’s on-farm evidence that liveweight gain is improved if biochar is fed to Angus-cross cattle.
