Do tamed oviraptors promote pooping?

I have an oviraptor at my base generating increased egg production from my other dinos. I swear poop production has skyrocketed as well though: my compost bins are always maxed out, and sitting amidst the ~50 nearby dinos can sometimes sound like a symphony of poo (constant fart sounds). This is especially noticable with my Phliomas, which are now pooping in burst fire mode, defecating 2 or 3 times before the first poo ball decomposes, creating an unsightly pile/stack behind them.

Until we get dung beetles on console, a lot of the dino waste is going to go to waste. I'm also curious if this is increasing the dino food consumption rate. Has anyone else experienced a fecal spike after taming an oviraptor?

As far as I know, every time a female dino defecates there is a 2% chance to also drop an egg, so with that logic in mind, I suppose it is not out of the realm of possibility that it also increases the amount of defecation.
