Abstract
A sample of sheep faeces was shaken with solutions which differed in initialconcentration, of acid, of phosphate or of calcium. Measurements of calcium and ofphosphate concentration and of pH were then made and used to construct a solubilitydiagram. This indicated that the phosphate was present as dicalcium phosphate and thatcalcium carbonate was also present. This appears to be consistent with published observationson the availability of faecal phosphate to plants.
