Abstract
SUMMARYA simple mathematical model is shown to provide reasonably good predictions of time series data on ammonia loss from three experiments on slurry stores. The model produces predictions of changes in the distribution of ammonia with depth. Experimental evidence suggests that ammonia concentrations above a critical value appear to destroy the viability ofCryptosporidiumoocysts. Using this criterion, the model predicts that, even under the most favourable circumstances, oocysts are unlikely to remain viable in slurry stores except in the top few centimetres. The effect of stirring the slurry is considered.
