It’s amazing how fast dung beetles break down manure into almost dry flaky organic matter. I steal some away from field to use as soil food for the garden. Healthy manure means healthy food as the diversity of microbial life with manure, soil and food is a cycle of life. B12 is an excellent example of a cycle with the realm of gut transition in herbivores by microbes. That’s then popped out by grazing livestock. The land digests the poop/manure which has the now formed B12 it is then ingested by plants again eaten by animals which the animal stores in the animals muscle & fat. It is when we eat meat milk or eggs from animals which have grazed land they’ve naturally pooped on that we get our most digestible B12.
