Authorities in New Delhi are planning to export cow dung and urine to the United States.

　　They will use the dung and urine produced by the thousands of stray cattle on the city's roads. The dung will be processed into compost while the urine will be converted into a biopesticide. The city council estimates it will be able to produce 160 tonnes of compost and 70,000 litres of bio-pesticide each day.Officials say the initiative is intended not only to earn money but also to address the problem of stray cattle.

　　The civic agency is in the process of purchasing hydraulic trucks so it can catch stray cattle and transport them to shelters in and around Delhi. Municipal Commissioner Rakesh Mehta says the council is working with the Morarka Foundation to utilise the city's 35,000 stray cows. Vardhman Bapna, a spokesman for the Morarka Foundation, told The Times of India: "While there is no dearth of cows in the US, the demand for Indian cow dung there is quite high. In fact, chemical analysis reveals that the dung of the Indian cow scores over the US version by way of organic content. Not surprisingly, we have received numerous enquiries from the US."
