<jats:title>SUMMARY</jats:title><jats:p>Slurry pH is of great importance for the regulation of ammonia volatilization from livestock slurry, and therefore more knowledge of the buffer system controlling pH is urgently needed for modelling ammonia losses from stored and surface-applied slurry. The composition of 17 different Danish cattle, pig and biogas plant-digested slurries was studied. The results were used to describe the main buffer components in the slurries, and to discover the most important chemical components necessary for modelling slurry pH. The results showed that the pH of slurry was mainly controlled by the species NH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>+/NH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>, CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/HCO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub><jats:sup>-</jats:sup>/CO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub><jats:sup>2-</jats:sup>and CH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>COOH/CH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>COO<jats:sup>-</jats:sup>, and that ion pair formation did not change the ionic balance significantly. There were only trace amounts of Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>, Mg<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>and inorganic phosphates in solution due to precipitation of CaCO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>(calcite) and MgNH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>PO<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>.6H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O (struvite). Measured electrical conductivities were found to be strongly correlated with the calculated ionic strength.</jats:p>
