How to Recycle Manure
Animal waste from livestock and pets.
Quick answer
Yes, manure from herbivores (horses, cows, chickens, rabbits) is excellent compost material and a soil builder. Compost it before use to kill pathogens and weed seeds; never compost dog, cat, or pig waste, which can carry parasites. Many farms and gardeners take it free.
