Description

Cow dung logs, also known as cow dung cakes or pats, are cylindrical-shaped logs made from the dried excrement of cattle. They are commonly used as a fuel source in rural areas where access to traditional fuels such as wood or coal is limited. The logs are made by collecting fresh cow dung and spreading it out to dry in the sun. Once the dung has dried, it is compressed and molded into logs, which can be used as fuel in traditional stoves or open fires.

Cow dung logs are considered a renewable and sustainable source of energy as they produce less greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels and they can be easily produced on a small scale. Additionally, cow dung has been used as a source of fertilizer for crops due to its high nitrogen content, helping to improve soil fertility. In conclusion, cow dung logs provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fuel sources, promoting sustainability and reducing the use of non-renewable fuels.

Organic Gyaan offers original cow dung logs that are beneficial to use during the Holi celebration. It is natural, eco-friendly and helps save the air from harmful pollution and the surrounding environment
