കന്നുകാലികളുടെ വിസർജ്യത്തെ ചാണകം എന്ന് പറയുന്നു. സാധാരണയായി പശു, എരുമ, പോത്ത് തുടങ്ങിയ മൃഗങ്ങളുടെ വിസർജ്യം ആണ് ഇത്.

Cow dung, also known as cow pats, cow pies or cow manure, is the waste product (faeces) of bovine animal species. These species include domestic cattle ("cows"), bison ("buffalo"), yak, and water buffalo. Cow dung is the undigested residue of plant matter which has passed through the animal's gut. The resultant faecal matter is rich in minerals. Color ranges from greenish to blackish, often darkening soon after exposure to air.
