Indle yizinsalela zokudla eziqinile noma eziqinile ezingagayeki emathunjini amancane, futhi zihlakazwe amagciwane ethunjini elikhulu. Indle iqukethe inani elincane lemikhiqizo kadoti ye-metabolic efana ne-bilirubin eshintshwe amagciwane, namaseli e-epithelial afile avela olwelweni lwamathumbu. Indle ikhishwa nge-anus noma i-cloaca ngesikhathi sokuzikhulula. Indle ingasetshenziswa njengomanyolo noma i-conditioner yenhlabathi kwezolimo. Ingashiswa futhi njengamafutha noma yomiswe futhi isetshenziselwe ukwakha. Okunye ukusetshenziswa komuthi kutholakele. Endabeni yendle yomuntu, ukufakelwa indle noma i-bacteriotherapy ye-fecal isetshenziswa. Umchamo kanye nendle ndawonye kubizwa ngokuthi i-excreta. Indle yezilwane, isib. i-guano kanye nomquba kuvame ukusetshenziswa njengomanyolo. Ubulongwe obomile bezilwane buyashiswa futhi busetshenziswe njengomthombo wokubasa emazweni amaningi emhlabeni jikelele. Eminye indle yezilwane, ikakhulukazi ekamela, yenyathi neyezinkomo, iwumthombo wokubasa lapho yomisiwe. Izilwane ezifana ne-panda ne-zebra enkulu zinamagciwane amathumbu akwazi ukukhiqiza i-biofuel. Ibhaktheriya okukhulunywa ngayo, i-Brocadia anammoxidans, ingasetshenziswa ukuze kuhlanganiswe i-rocket fuel hydrazine. Ubulongwe bezilwane ngezikhathi ezithile busetshenziswa njengosimende ukwenza amaqhugwane enziwe ngezitini zodaka, noma ngisho nasemidlalweni yokujikijela, ikakhulukazi ngobulongwe benkomo kanye bekamela. Kopi luwak (liphinyiselwe [ˈkopi ˈlu.aʔ]), noma "ikhofi le-civet", ikhofi elenziwe ngamajikijolo ekhofi eliye ladliwa futhi ladlula emgudwini wokugaya we-Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus).
