'''Cow dung''', also known as '''cow pats''', '''cow patties''', '''cow pies''', '''cow poop''' or '''cow manure''', is the [[waste|waste product]] ([[faeces]]) of [[Bovinae|bovine]] animal species. These species include domestic [[cattle]] ("cows"), [[bison]] ("buffalo"), [[yak]], and [[water buffalo]]. Cow dung is the undigested residue of plant matter which has passed through the animal's gut. The resultant [[feces|faecal matter]] is rich in [[mineral]]s.
