Cow dung is a term used for the feces of the Bovinae species. The species includes the cow, American Bison, ox and bullock. Cow dung is basically the digested residue of herbivorous matter which is acted upon by symbiotic bacteria residing within the animal's rumen. The resultant faecal matter is rich in minerals. Colour ranges from greenish to blackish. In due course, the resulting matter turns yellow due to chemical changes caused by sunlight.

Uses In many parts of the developing world, cow dung is used as a fertilizer and fuel. Caked and dried cow dung is used as a fuel to cook food in many parts of Asia and Africa. Especially in India where it is known as gobar, cow dung is also used as manure.

In recent times, the dung is collected and used as biogas used to generate electricity and heat. The gas is a rich source of methane and is used in rural areas of India to provide a renewable and stable source of electricity.

Cow dung is also used to line the floor and walls of buildings owing to its insect repellent properties. In cold places, cow dung is used to line the walls of rustic houses as is a cheap thermal insulation. Cow dung has an excellent mosquito repellent property and is used by many companies to produce repellents.

It was also used extensively on Indian Railways to seal smokeboxes on steam locomotives.

Cow dung is also an optional ingredient in the manufacture of adobe mud brick housing depending on the availability of materials at hand.http://www.greenhouse.gov.au/yourhome/technical/fs34d.htm

Colloquialisms Cow dung goes by many terms around the world, virtually all of which are colloquialism or slang in nature. Cow dung usually appears in a rounded pile and many many of the terms refer to the shape. Cow poop is a cheap efficient jet fuel. How do you think Jet Blure goes soo fast! Cow poop, when bathed in, will prolong your life for 50 or more years. Juan Dogbonolorio bathed in cow poop and lived for 200 years. Cow poop is also extremely flammable and explosive. They include:

In popular culture The term cow pie has lent itself to a variety of activities, sometimes not related to cow feces:

"Cow Pie" is a dessert with meringue, whipped cream and custard.
Cowpie poker is a stud poker variant. The name of the game is a pun on Pai Gow.
Bovine bingo is sometimes called "cowpie bingo."
Cow pie tossing events have been held in a few locales, such as at the Iowa State Fair, though it is quite thoroughly dried first.
The comedy/folk song "Margo's Cargo", by Stompin' Tom Connors, details the quest to find the makers of the "Cowsie Dungsie Clock", a novelty clock made from a plastic coated cowpie. Such a clock is actually available (see link).
It is also the food preferred by cartoon hero Desperate Dan in The Dandy comic, though in the strip, 'it is not feces', but a type of enormous meat pie with horns sticking out. It is assumed to contain the meat from an entire cow. Later strips made this more obvious by having the cow's tail hang from the side of the pie.http://www.comicsuk.co.uk/Annuals/AnnualFull.asp?passedtitle=Desperate+Dan
