(And I too wondered if the OP really might have meant to ask about the N

asking
that question of other gardeners would make sense whereas asking about
protein didn't. Given how many trolls we've had here in the past who
knows
what prompted the OP to ask such a question.......)


I asked about the protein in cow poop in reference to a discussion in
another
group, which sadly, I have forgotten. it wasn't a troll and I'm sure that
one
day I'll remember the point. I did some research and nothing came up. I
thought
here was a good place to ask. It is/was, it's only my memory and my
failure to
read all my newsgroups in a timely manner that makes the whole thing seem
senseless/pointless at this time.

but my intentions were good


Since you say you weren't trolling (and we have been bothered by such
creatures here in the past), you may get a result if you just do a general
search about protein in the poop of any mammals.

Someone (David I think) mentioned that a healthy cow shouldn't have a lot of
protein in it's poop. If he is right, and past history indicates that he
doesn't post unless he's either sure of his facts or puts in a qualifier,
then perhaps the same principle would apply to all mammals.
