Explanation:
obornik (WNT, naukowo-techniczny) » (roln.) manure, dung
Manure is organic matter used as fertilizer in agriculture. Manures contribute to the fertility of the soil by adding organic matter and nutrients, such as nitrogen that is trapped by bacteria in the soil. Higher organisms then feed on the fungi and bacteria in a chain of life that comprises the soil food web.
The dried manure of animals has been used as fuel throughout history. Dried manure (usually known as dung) of cow was, and still is, an important fuel source in countries such as India, while camel dung may be used in treeless regions such as deserts.

IwonaASzymaniak: Yes, never heard of dung in this context and have walked in manured barns, I swear Is it British? I definitely visited US cows and worked with them and in many very informal or even too informal settings. Never been to a UK cow barn though.

7 hrs

-> 'Dung'is a more informal word for'manure',so after your walks in the barns,your boots would be covered in it!I didn't suggest it simply because it's more colloquial.Thank you!//Yes-& AFAIK can be used for all animals,not just farms-zoos & in the wild.:-))
