Cowdung stops snakes from feeding on fish.

Cowdung stops snakes from feeding on fish. Placing cow dung in a pond repulses snake predators as snakes are common in fish ponds along rivers and other forest-surrounding areas. Insects, fish and other reptiles like frogs are the main source of food for snakes. Snakes love fish, but hate cow-dung smell. A fish pond is more susceptible to snakes because the population is high within this water restricted area. This makes the snakes reside inside the pond or nearby areas. But a sack of about 10kg places in one corner of the fishpond could repulse these predators, according to a farmer;Jared Mogaka . Mogaka, who runs integrated farms in Nakuru, said the use of chemicals in taming predators presents a risk to consumers and the environment. While the dung is fresh, it releases a strong decomposing smell that persists even after it has been placed in the water because it is moist. Cowdung and chicken droppings are commonly immersed in one corner of fish ponds as manure to support the growth of planktons. source
