Abstract The contribution of animal slurry to the supply of S to plants was studied. The total‐S content of cattle and pig slurry was significantly correlated to DM and nitrogen content and was composed of sulfide, sulfate and C‐bonded S. During 42 weeks of storage sulfate concentrations decreased and sulfide and C‐bonded S concentrations increased. In a pot experiment plant‐availability of S in slurry was found to be low, 5 to 7% of total‐S.
