lol I think I might know what they do with the cow dung! It's a rollercoaster though, so strap in lmao. So, I'm no expert but my wife is a biologist and this is kind of my understanding of what might be happening. We've kept a large group of guinea pigs for a few years. They have really long digestive tracks, and any sort of bloating can be pretty dangerous to them. So, instinctually, they will eat one another's poops in order to regulate their gut microbiome to keep from getting bloated. (well, actually *nerd glasses*, they eat one another's cecotropes - which is a secondary type of poop that they make which is more fibrous than their normal poops -- they'll also eat more of one another's cecotropes when there is a food shortage [I learned this from vet science, not from starving my pigs lol] so it does seem to help them during lean times *but* they still eat cecotropes even when there's a big food surplus which I think is because of how much it helps their gut. [This is where it ties in to stolen cow poo] If you have one sick guinea pig who has bloat, and one healthy guinea pig, you can actually crush up the cecotrope (& mix it with something nice bc you're not a complete monster lol) and give it to the sick pig. It will often help with their bloating problem and let them recover! (You see this a lot after guinea pigs are given meds like antibiotics). I could possibly see this being done with cows too? That's literally the only explanation I have. This is also being done with humans right now, with the gut microbiome project & C. difficile. C. diff used to be such an awful illness, and even a decade ago it was so hard to treat. It's a gut microbiome overgrowth problem. It was treated with heavy antibiotics until recently when the Gut Microbiome project started using Poop Pills to treat it lol. I mean, they're very well tested poop samples & they're probably in capsules so you don't have to deal with a taste, but they're like a magic bullet for c. diff. It's giving a lot of people hope where there was none. At this point, I don't know if I should say "You're welcome" or "I'm sorry" for this rambling wealth of poop knowledge... whatever, love you guys : D
