no....they both have opposite effects.....lime increases alkalinity of soil and needs several months to work....sulphate of ammonia is used on alkaline soils to provide nitrogen and reduce ph.
Buy a PH meter and test soil alkalinity if i was you.
Hoof and horn is a good source on Nitrogen but needs to be dug in at least 6 weeks before you plant anything out.
Should your soil be acidic and you want to grow greens, calcified seaweed can be used with hoof and horn.
