In 2006, Syammahfuz Chazali along with two colleagues, Wusana Irawan Bayu Pamungkas and Nurcahyo, from Gadjah Mada University Faculty of Animal Husbandry, had the idea to utilize cow manure that had become an environmental issue.

The first step is to form a group that is named Faerumnesia. The name is derived from the word "Faeces" (dung) and "Rumen" (cow stomach contents). The target initially is how to process cattle dung for no smell and no itching when exposed to skin.

Once successful, this group sought to develop again this cow manure for beguna. One of its efforts is to work with one of the pottery artisans in Kasongan, Bantul, to utilize cow manure that has been processed into raw material for making pottery. With a composition of 80% cow dung + 20 percent of the land hard + special formula liquid form, the result is quite surprising, earthenware produced much lighter and stronger. Unlike pottery in general, pottery with a mixture of cow dung is more brilliant appearance, even when burned, 90 percent of the pottery is not broken.

Pottery innovation results soon attracted the attention of society. Brunei Darussalam and the Netherlands was the first country to directly order the pottery result of this innovation. Top of this achievement, in 2008, Syammahfuz Chazali chosen as one of the best young entrepreneurs version of Bank Mandiri.

The success Syammahfuz Chazali and his colleagues have also attracted the attention of five student / student program Master of Management Business School Management (SBM), namely: Indri Yuni Hand, Marselina, Fika Nurfi Triyana, Teuku Winnetou, Erma Melina Sarahwati, and Yusuf Aria Putera.

The students are then offered a program of cooperation to make bricks from cow dung. According pemikirin the students, when compared with the price fluctuating pottery, bricks are more stable because it is a basic material to build a society that is always needed.

The result was amazing, bricks from beef cattle manure has many advantages, namely:

* The price is more economical, which is only Rp.280, -/buah, when compared with bricks made of clay which reaches 500, -/buah.
* He weighs 20% lighter than clay bricks.
* Power 20% stronger durability than ordinary bricks.
* Can reduce the use of cement to 60 percent.
* Easy to be made.
* Environmentally Friendly.

Ways of making bricks from beef cattle manure was very easy, and can be done anywhere. The steps are:

* The main ingredient is cow dung mixed with a special liquid formula, to form clay.
* 80% of this material is then mixed with 20% ground hard.
* Next, a mixture of brick is printed as usual.
* Semi-finished bricks are then dried and burned. The combustion process can also use biogas derived from cow dung.

Further development, is currently in testing new forms of waste bricks this cow dung, which is called the "lego bricks". With lego bricks, cement will use less because that would further reduce the use of cement. By using lego bricks, the building will no longer necessarily rectangular, but can also be shaped like Lego toys.

Thanks to this innovation, along with six students Syammahfuz Prasetiya Mulya Business Scholl, managed to win the world-level business plan competition on the theme Global Social Venture Competition (GSVC), because it was considered a visionary and environmentally friendly. The competition runs from 23 to 25 April 2009 at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.

Very proud of this achievement because for 10 years the event was held, there has never been a team from outside the U.S. colleges who successfully steal first prize and the right to present 25 thousand U.S. dollars.

Additional food (meat rabbits 3 heads) @ 15,000,-Rp. 45000.4. Other USD. 30,000, Total Production Cost USD. 328,000.2. Revenue: 3000 tail = 300 kg x @ Rp. 2500, - USD. 750,000.3. Advantages USD. 422,000.
