My father uses it as a fertiliser - it has very high ammonia, so be careful with it, but it works a treat... I suppose you could let it rot down too, and use it as compost. It would also be very helpful on a compost heap.

I got some from a local "pidgeon fancier" and used it on my compost heap,its a good accelerator.

Apparently its also very good for mulching around roses.
