I would suggest that the article on cowpie be merged with this one as cow dung and cowpie is simply a slang term for cow dung. --Cab88 16:56, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did it. Sillybilly 06:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not to be rude or anything, but the common person does not regularly look up cow pie 75.4.182.144 02:28, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cow pie is the favourite food of Desperate Dan, from the Dandy. What are young children going to think if they are given the impression that their hero eats piles of cow shit? BennyFromCrossroads 23:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cow Dung[edit]

This stuff is cool yet weird. Why do you think it is entirely gross. It is pretty funny. I would like to toss a cowpie at bush!

Why do you guys call it that, we call it cow patties!

Wikipedia is mean![edit]

I wrote a perfectly good article called Cow plops, and they deleted it to go here!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Factdude (talk • contribs)

The articles clearly duplicate each other. If you have any new content to add, please add it here rather than creating a duplicate article. Hut 8.5 11:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page is vandalised quite, something should be done for the juvenile jokers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.55.129.212 (talk) 07:25, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What the hell?[edit]

You have an entire page talking about, of all things, cow poop? 66.63.86.156 (talk) 20:37, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Come on people I know thats gross,but we actually use that stuff.lol imagine cows going on about our poop...we just gotta let the waste out!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.30.245.149 (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Antiseptic Properties[edit]

Perhaps this article should delve into the Indian traditional (religious?) thought that cow dung has antiseptic properties. I wonder if anybody has any access to good research on this. --69.151.147.118 (talk) 02:04, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not research as such, but in this article [1] (see 4th last bullet point at bottom of article), the BBC mentions it briefly as a fact, rather than merely a tradition. It surprised me enough that I came looking here. However, the article was written by a small regional team dealing with Eastern England (citing info from the "Hara [sic] Krishna" movement), rather than written by either their specialist India or medical teams, so perhaps deserves to be given less weight than most BBC statements on medical issues. Enginear (talk) 03:18, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We really can't use this in the article per WP:MEDRS without a better source - a religious movement is essentially worthless as a source for medical information. Hut 8.5 07:30, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NPK?[edit]

I ended up here because I wanted to know the NPK of cow manure. After coming here I still don't know it. So what is the NPK of cow manure? I think an article about cow manure should list NPK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.174.215.84 (talk) 08:12, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Insect Repellent Properties[edit]

The claims that cow dung as an insect repellent should be supported with some evidence. If anyone could find some, please let me know. I just don't want this article to be biased, since many Indian people in particular seem to assert claims like this.Skepticalnotcynical (talk) 13:14, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
