Animals obtain their nitrogen primarily from plants. Plants absorb nitrogen from the soil (in the form of nitrates and ammonium) and incorporate it into organic compounds. When animals consume plants (or other animals that have fed on plants), they obtain the nitrogen needed for their own biological processes.
