Attottam
Is it true that the milk and dung of goats can also be used to make manure for crops?
S. Saroj Patil
Himachal Pradesh
The milk, dung and urine of a goat have the same value as those of a cow, and the manure made from the goat’s milk and waste is called attottam. It stimulates plant growth, stops withering of leaves and fruit buds, and improves the smell, taste and weight of the produce. Aattottam is made by taking about 5kg of fresh goat’s dung, 3 litres of goat’s urine, 1.5 kg of either soya or groundnut cake or green gram or black gram (after grinding), and soaking them in water overnight. The next day about 2 litres of milk (goat’s milk), curd, coconut water, toddy and sugarcane juice each, and about a dozen ripe bananas (any banana variety) are added to it. For more details on its usage you can contact Mr. V.S.
