I work at a zoo, and we compost herbivore manure, elephant makes up the vast majority of the stuff that goes into the pile. Not all herbivore manures are created equal, but when I sent out the elephant dung to the Extension agency for testing our composting "recipe" they said it was essentially perfect with nothing added. All that was in the sample was elephant dung and smidgeon of straw (less than 1% I would estimate).

We make it by the long ton here and man the stuff is excellent. We sell out all the time, by the truckload, the 5 gallon container and even the quart.
