Cattle manure
We are switching towards organic farming with a great pace and one of its important components is organic manure. Cow's dung is natural manure that is highly beneficial for plant growth. Dung from a single cow is sufficient for five acres of land. It is affordable, at the same time it prevents land degradation also due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers and maintains soil fertility.
Insecticides from cow
Cow's urine is the best natural insecticides that is used to kill insects and pests that can damage our crop. It is estimated that urine of a single cow can protect crop of 10 acres of land area.
Transportation
