Nitrogen from animal waste can be stored in bodies of water primarily as **nitrates**.

In aquatic systems, organic nitrogen from animal waste is usually converted by microbial processes into ammonia, which can then be further oxidized to nitrites and nitrates through nitrification. Nitrates are a more stable and less toxic form of nitrogen that can accumulate in water bodies.
