Bedding for animals and plants for the manufacture of such litter

摘要

There is disclosed a method for producing bedding for animals in stable facilities and based on vegetable straw which is finely cut. The finely cut straw is pelletized at such a pressure that heating to a temperature above 70°C, preferably above 80°C, is produced. Sterilisation of the material due to the temperatures produced at the heating during pelletizing is achieved. Furthermore, protruding fibre ends or straw parts from the fibre bundles/the short straws at the pressing/compression performed at the pelletizing, will be mashed and crushed so that afterwards they appear softened as the cell structure in the elementary fibres and the straw parts is crushed. Thereafter comminution of pelletized material is performed. Hence is formed loose bedding consisting of individual bundles of elementary fibres/short straw parts.
