We currently can't feed non-dog domestic animals, so this mod should fill that gap in gameplay.
After livestock digest food, they will leave poop (though it will be a pile that sits in the exact spot you were standing due to modding constraints), which can be burned as fuel or used as manure in preparing fields.
Field prep with poop is an alternative to the slash-and-burn method and does away with the waiting period before planting when the embers cool down (as well as the number of keystrokes needed to lay down fuel for a decently-sized farm plot). Instead of using a shovel, a rake is required to distribute manure into the soil. Prepared fields can be made through the build menu but this also makes any tile of prepared soil susceptible to being deconstructed.
