waste products. It is used as an organic fertilizer for plants and as a nutritional supplement for
animals. As a slow-release fertilizer, bone meal is primarily used as a source of phosphorus and
protein. Bone meal, along with a variety of other meals, especially meat meal, is used as a

metals, and is no longer recommended as a calcium source.
