Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un matériau à base de copeaux de bois forestiers naturels convenant notamment pour confectionner des litières pour animaux. The present invention relates to a material based on natural wood chips suitable in particular for making animal bedding.
Les matériaux actuellement couramment utilisés pour confectionner des litières pour animaux, qu'ils soient à base de paille ou de diverses matières végétales, voire synthétiques, présentent un inconvénient dû principalement à leur pouvoir d'absorption. Ou bien ils n'absorbent pas suffisamment les déjections liquides, auquel cas il faut veiller à changer les litières et nettoyer les locaux souillés (boxes, étables, etc.) le plus souvent possible pour des raisons sanitaires et d'hygiène évidentes, ou bien ils absorbent ces déjections et forment des boues qui finissent par se sursaturer ce qui n'évite pas d'avoir à procéder souvent, comme dans le cas précédent, aux mêmes nettoyages fréquents.Par ailleurs, dans l'un comme l'autre cas, les déjections solides restent en l'état ; elles ne sont éliminées qu'en changeant les litières, leur accumulation ne pouvant être tolérée, d'une part pour le confort même des animaux et leur état sanitaire et, d'autre part, en raison des odeurs nuisibles et/ou désagréables qui en résultent. The materials currently commonly used to make litter boxes for animals, whether based on straw or various plant materials, or even synthetic materials, have a drawback mainly due to their absorption power. Either they do not absorb liquid manure enough, in which case care must be taken to change the litter boxes and clean soiled rooms (boxes, stables, etc.) as often as possible for obvious sanitary and hygienic reasons, or they absorb these droppings and form sludge which eventually supersaturates which does not avoid having to carry out often, as in the previous case, the same frequent cleaning. In addition, in either case, solid droppings remain as they are; they are eliminated only by changing the litters, their accumulation cannot be tolerated, on the one hand for the comfort of the animals and their sanitary state and, on the other hand, because of the harmful and / or unpleasant odors which result.
Or la présente invention obvie à ces inconvénients et fournit un matériau convenant pour la confection des litières pour animaux ne nécessitant pas de changements fréquents de ces dernières en raison du fait que ce matériau a la propriété, d'une part d'absorber les déjections liquides sans formation de boues, tout en présentant un pouvoir élevé d'échange avec l'atmosphère par évaporation, d'autre part de se combiner avec les déjections solides pour former un mélange cohérent relativement homogène et enfin de présenter un pouvoir déodorisant notable. However, the present invention overcomes these drawbacks and provides a material suitable for making animal bedding which does not require frequent changes of the latter due to the fact that this material has the property, on the one hand, of absorbing liquid excrement. without sludge formation, while having a high power of exchange with the atmosphere by evaporation, on the other hand to combine with solid excrement to form a coherent relatively homogeneous mixture and finally to present a significant deodorant power.
Le matériau conforme à l'invention ayant l'en- semble des propriétés ci-dessus est caractérisé par le fait qu'il est à base de copeaux de bois forestiers naturels (n'ayant subi aucun traitement physique ou chimique) essentiellement résineux se présentant sous forme de copeaux en lamelles ayant chacune une épaisseur de 5 à 15 mm, une longueur de 5 mm à 6 cm et une largeur de 5 mm à 3 cm. Ces propriétés sont d'autant plus marquées que les dimensions ci-dessus sont respectées et que la teneur en bois résineux est élevée, le résultat optimum étant évidemment obtenu avec des copeaux provenant exclusivement de bois résineux forestiers naturels non traités. The material according to the invention having all of the above properties is characterized by the fact that it is based on natural forest wood chips (which have not undergone any physical or chemical treatment) which is essentially resinous and which presents in the form of shavings in strips each having a thickness of 5 to 15 mm, a length of 5 mm to 6 cm and a width of 5 mm to 3 cm. These properties are all the more marked when the above dimensions are respected and the content of softwood is high, the optimum result obviously being obtained with chips exclusively from untreated natural forest softwood.
Pratiquement, les copeaux en lamelles selon l'invention peuvent être obtenus par tout moyen mécanique connu en soi du type coupeuse, trancheuse et analogues. In practice, the strip chips according to the invention can be obtained by any mechanical means known per se of the cutter, slicer and the like type.
Avec un tel matériau, on a constaté de façon tout à fait surprenante que la durée d'utilisation des litières peut atteindre 15 à 21 jours sans nécessiter de changement. Du fait de sa nature et de la structure des éléments particulaires le constituant, ce matériau retient toutes les déjections lesquelles, par les seuls mouvements, déplacements, piétinements de l'animal, donnent un mélange souple et friable, pratiquement homogène, sans formation de plaques ou de blocs de boue. Il s'ensuit la formation d'un fumier très riche en raison du fait
a) que les copeaux absorbent et retiennent tous les éléments essentiels
b) que les copeaux-contiennent aussi une quantité intéressante d'éléments fertilisants (éléments azotés, minéraux, produits de décomposition de la cellulose, etc.).With such a material, it has been found quite surprisingly that the period of use of the litters can reach 15 to 21 days without requiring any change. Because of its nature and the structure of the particular elements constituting it, this material retains all the excrement which, by the only movements, displacements, trampling of the animal, give a flexible and crumbly mixture, practically homogeneous, without formation of plaques or mud blocks. This results in the formation of a very rich manure due to the fact
a) that the chips absorb and retain all the essential elements
b) that the shavings also contain an interesting quantity of fertilizing elements (nitrogenous elements, minerals, cellulose decomposition products, etc.).
En outre, on constate de façon inattendue que ce fumier est pratiquement dépourvu d'odeurs. Des essais ont en effet montré qu'avec du lisier ou des litières de porcs (pris comme référence de milieux notoirement connus comme dégageant une très forte odeur et polluants), toute odeur désagréable était définitivement éliminée au bout de quelques heures.. In addition, it is unexpectedly found that this manure is practically free of odors. Tests have in fact shown that with slurry or pig litter (taken as a reference for environments known to have a very strong odor and pollutants), any unpleasant odor was definitively eliminated after a few hours.
On conçoit alors aisément tout l'intérêt que présente le matériau selon l'invention : dans le domaine de l'élevage (allant de l'élevage des petits animaux tels que des volatiles comme la caille à celui des plus gros animaux tels que ovins, porcins, bovins, équidés, etc.), la granulométrie est choisie en fonction du poids de l'animal avec des épaisseurs de couches de litières allant de 5 à 15 cm. Dans le domaine de l'agriculture et de la culture, on dispose d'un matériau riche en éléments essentiels et fertilisants. It is therefore easy to see the advantage of the material according to the invention: in the field of animal husbandry (ranging from the breeding of small animals such as birds such as quail to that of larger animals such as sheep, pigs, cattle, horses, etc.), the grain size is chosen according to the weight of the animal with thicknesses of litter layers ranging from 5 to 15 cm. In the field of agriculture and culture, there is a material rich in essential elements and fertilizers.
Il va de soi que la présente invention n'a été décrite qu'à titre purement explicatif et nullement limitatif et que toute modification utile pourra y etre apportée sans sortir de son cadre. It goes without saying that the present invention has been described for purely explanatory and in no way limitative and that any useful modification may be made without departing from its scope.
