Did you know that dung beetles navigate using the stars?
They can also eat more than their own weight in manure times in 24 hours and are considered the strongest animal in the world being able to move balls 1000 times heavier than themselves.

Dung beetles are not fans of wormers.
They are a really great addition to your pastures and help by breaking down manure quickly and giving nutrients back to your soil.

Kepp your horses locked up for a couple of days then remove the manure to keep your dung beetles happy.

Half a kg/100kg of weight is the max amount of concentrated feed horses should be fed per meal.
That's 2.5kg per meal for a 500kg horse! Most people I know feed much more than this.
Feeding more than this amount each meal at worst causes Colic or other gut health issues.
At best, excess feed is not converted to energy . In short you are probably wasting money.
If your horse needs more concentrates they should be fed more often.
Got any good tips on how to do this and work full time as well??
