Why do we use cow manure in so many things but other animals’ poop (i.e. cats and dogs) are considered to be toxic?
In: 67
Just an FYI, here are examples of other poop often used as fertilizer. Each of them have their own qualities (which I know but am not going to explain in detail):
– horse, cow, chicken, pig, duck, rabbit, goat, sheep, llama, bat, worm (castings) to name a few. In some cases, people have been known to humanure (from people), but that is a bit of a risky process and needs to be well processed.
I’m sure there are other animals’ manure that are used around the world, given what is available. Probably camel manure, but I’m not googling.
I’ve personally used horse, cow, duck, rabbit, goat, sheep, bat guano and worm castings. Some of these need to be aged/composted, but some can be used right away.
