Back in India cow dung cakes are normally used as fuel while the fresh cow dung is used as manure.
In India cows are worshipped and so everything about cows is holy. There are millions of Indians in the US and these cow dung cakes are used for religious purposes.
Reports have it they are selling as hot cakes.
'Not to eat' is reported to be mentioned on packs.

@allknowing I remember that in the past, farmers used cow dung as a disinfectant.

Cow Dung by the way is not what you think. It does not smell and this is dry.

@askme123 Villagers use it on their yard and some even inside the house. Dried cow dung does not smell

The word 'cake' perhaps would confuse some (lol)
