OED defines it as "The dung of certain animals, e.g. the badger, fox, etc." It's also obsolete.... thank heaven. No pronunciation is given.

I like to think it's pronounced like defiant. As is "I WILL SHOW YOU MY FIANTS."

chained_bear commented on the word fiants
I assumed that's the pronunciation intended, and the OED people just forgot to list it.
