Manure is organic matter that is used as fertilizer by farmers to increase agriculture. Some examples are cattle dung, urine, crop wastes, domestic wastes, weeds like water hyacinth, by-products of agricultural industries, droppings of goat and sheep, slaughterhouse wastes like bone meal, blood meal, horn and hoof meal, fish wastes, etc.
