What are the residues of a sheep's digestion?
Sheep's excrements
Many lambs, just as humans, are suffering from diarrhoea. As soon as
we are grown-up, our excrements look like the ones depicted on the
figure.
Incidentally, this is a formidable fertilizer. You can see (or better
smell) this from the intensive odour reminding of ammonia. Ammonia consists
mostly of nitrogen, which is an element that plants need for their growth.
Fresh excrements are quite soft, but can be dried. In dried form
they can easily be broken up, thus making dosage during fertilization
easier.
