Dr. Shaun Forgie: Dung Beetle Innovations co-founder calls for Government funding in the industry

Tough times in the dung beetle business have prompted a call for a dump of funding from the  Government.

Dung Beetle Innovations was launched in 2014 in Auckland's Whenuapai. 

Co-Founder Shaun Forgie says the dung beetles can be used to clear manure from farms, preventing it from sliding into rivers. 

He told Heather du Plessis-Allan that his sector receiving funding will benefit others. 
 
Forgie says his business can make livestock cultivation more efficient.
