cow dung
Pasture field patties
Cow dung is the feces of cattle, used for centuries as fertilizer, fuel, and building material.
In many agricultural societies, dried cow dung serves as an important cooking fuel and is mixed with mud to create plaster for walls and floors.
The term appears in contexts ranging from farming and gardening to discussions of traditional practices and renewable energy.
The fields were spread with cow dung before planting season.
