Advice on H-poo mixture?

Today I'm going to be pasteurizing some horse poo for a mono tub. I thought maybe I would try adding a few ingredients to hopefully allow it to colonize faster and retain more water.
So here's the mix I'm thinking of. -5L of well aged and weathered horse poo (Cause it's DA shit) -1/2L chunky verm (Better water retention and texture) -1/2L expanded coco coir (Faster colonization)
And then I thought I might add - 1 Tbs blood meal, for nitrogen (Possible potency increase?) - 1/4 cup crushed oyster shell, (Possibly more flushes?) - 1 Tbs vegetable oil (Just heard it was good LOL!)
Now I'm going to be pasteurizing this and spawning to it open air. I don't think adding any of these ingredients should cause a problem contam wise with a simple pasteurization.
I'd really appreciate any input from you guys with experience in substrate mixtures such as this. Do you think I should add anything else? take something out? adjust my measurements?
Thanks!

Oil eh? How come I have never heard of this yet? What are the benifits of using oil? It possible to use olive oil, canola, or sunflower...or is it strictly vegitable oil?

Any of the above.
V/oil creates flocuation points between fibers, which allows myc to bridge gaps quicker. Meaning, it will colonize faster. Plus, a little v/oil is good nutes, to boot.

Thanks for the quick replies!
Yeah I was a little uneasy about the blood meal..seems like the only loaded weapon in that mix. Everything else seems like it would be pretty forgiving. Not like I've ever had potency problem with the H-poo anyways.
Yeah [edit] I WAS curious too as to why exactly the oils are beneficial. But I have seen them used before in spawn bag mixtures.
Thanks agar. Answerd before I could post LOL

When do you intend on adding the oil and oyster and why not in the original mix?

For those who are still in their infancy in terms of growing, would adding a small amount of vegetable oil to the classic brf/verm cakes be beneficial, then? 
 Peace.

I will be mixing them all together at the same time in an oven bag then getting the right moisture content and pasteurizing.
Reason I made a second list is because those were my questionable additions.
