I`m not sure about it`s use as a fuel. Pat. -- Pat Anderson |

In most parts of rural southern Africa cattle dung is used as a
flooring material as well as to make and decorate the walls of huts. Virtually all of the rural communities use this method, particularly in areas where there is only short seasonal rain or it is very dry.

Pat, thanks for your news. Can you tell me what people do it, please? I lived in both the Niger Delta and Northern Nigeria, one of the things we had to do was wash all vegetables, salads and some fruits in a solution of Milton ( a sterilising chemical) because the land where these vegetables were grown was fertilised by human waste. The Ghanaians also use the same system and there are probably other countries that do the same. If you do a search you should get more help. Pat. -- Pat Anderson |

The first two page search results feature, specifically South Africa, southern Sudan, Mali, Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania. I'm sure you can get lots of information to support your research.
