Definitions
- the invention herein described relates generally to materials useful as bedding for large animals, and to methods of using the material as an animal bedding. More particularly, the invention relates to an animal bedding material composed of crimped cellulose paper strips, and methods of using same.
- the bedding material is less prone to clinging to the animal when compared to wood chip shavings, and provides a more sterile environment for the animal, which can be advantageous for valuable and/or sick animals and particularly advantageous where an animal is recovering from surgical or other wounds.
- the paper strips are biodegradable and may be made of kraft paper. Additionally, the width and length of the paper strips are selected to avoid the strips from being intertwined and interlocked, so that they are more free-flowing. It further is noted as an advantage of the invention that at least some animals, in particular horses, are less inclined to eat the bedding when compared to straw.
- the bedding material may also be treated with an odor reducing or neutralizing agent for enhancing odor elimination.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic illustration showing a tray of compost on which mushrooms are grown.
- Fig. 1 schematically illustrates an animal bedding material according to the invention
- the bedding material designated generally by reference numeral 10
- the bedding material comprises a plurality of crimped cellulose paper strips 12.
- the paper strips are generally of the type disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,088,972, 5,134,013 and 5,173,352, and in U.S. Patent Application Nos. 07/861 ,225 and 08/153,360, which patents and applications are assigned to applicant's assignee and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.
- each paper strip 12 has a narrow width, an elongated length, and over the length thereof a plurality of transverse folds alternately creased in opposite directions to provide each strip with an accordion-like construction.
- the single or multi-ply paper strips may be produced in the manner described in the aforesaid commonly assigned patents and patent applications.
- a particularly preferred bedding material is composed of paper strips formed from 90 pound basis weight natural kraft paper having a width of about 1 /4 inch, an unfolded length of about 2 3/16 inch, and an average folded length of about 1 inch. Also, the strips may have an average number of folds per inch of about 10 to about 20. Such a material has been found to exhibit excellent mucking out properties akin to those of wood chip shavings, but without the drawbacks associated with wood chip shavings.
- the inventive bedding material is resistant to clumping thereby eliminating or minimizing the problem of bare spots on the floor as might arise from an animal dragging its hoof.
Abstract
L'invention concerne une litière (10) et un procédé pour réaliser une litière pour des animaux de grande taille. Ce matériau est constitué d'une masse agrégée, peu compacte, compressible et élastique, de bandelettes froncées (12) en papier de cellulose, présentant chacune, suivant sa longueur, une pluralité de plis transversaux dans des directions alternativement opposées, pour constituer une structure (12) en forme d'accordéon. Chacune des bandelettes de papier (12) a une largeur inférieure à 3/16 de pouce environ et une longueur moyenne à l'état plié d'environ 1 pouce ou moins. De manière caractéristique, chacune des bandelettes de papier (12) présente à l'état déplié un rapport longueur sur largeur d'au moins 7 et à l'état repliée une longueur correspondant à moins de 75 % environ de la longueur dépliée. La litière (10) de l'invention de ce type, lorsqu'elle est chargée de déjections, est utile pour réaliser un compost (32) convenant à la culture des champignons.
