Blood, fish and bonemeal is a balanced organic fertiliser which is used
as
an alternative to "Growmore" . The former is a slower release
fertiliser.
Pelleted chicken manure can be powdered and used as a high nitrogen
feed
for lawns.

Both of those I use although I don't powder the dried poop fertiliser. I
am
also experimenting with used coffee grounds, a 3-1-2 mix so use 2-3
times
the amount of pelletised poop fertiliser.

What about hoof & horn meal? I shouldn't think it would be very
attractive on the lawn, though..

high in nitrogen (12%) so will give the grass a sustained nitrogen hit, low
in phosphorous (1%) and no potassium. Will likely green up a dull lawn but
lacks other nutrients. Blood and bone or seaweed looks better.
