I want to know the possible reasons behind cow hard dung. I know one of the reason is that if cow drinks less water then she will excrete hard dung but I want to know other reasons.

Illness identification based on cow dung
Dear Mr.Patel,
Thank you for your e-mail. As you rightly pointed out, one of the main reasons for hard dung is reduction in water intake. The cow should be provided cool and clean drinking water 24 x 7. Other reasons for hard dung could be milk fever, ketosis or when excess fibre is fed. For further details that would give a fair idea on Animal Health, Feeding and Management practices visit the following link: http://dairyknowledge.in/section/manuals and http://dairyknowledge.in/section/downloads.

Cow dung harbours a rich microbial diversity, containing different species of bacteria (Bacillus spp., Corynebacterium spp. and Lactobacillus spp.)
