に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a bedding material for livestock that is suitably humidified and granulated using waste paper or waste pulp as a raw material and is suitable as a substitute for bedding in stables.

が要望されていた。Dried rice straw has been used as bedding material for livestock since ancient times.However, with the spread of combine harvesters, straw is often shredded and returned to the land when harvesting and threshing rice. Rice straw is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain due to a shortage of rice straw.On the other hand, rice straw is not necessarily the best bedding material; There was a need for a material that could be stably supplied in large quantities.

造される。The present invention was obtained as a result of various studies on the processing of waste paper such as old newspapers and magazines, and waste valves that cannot be easily turned into paper into bedding materials.The characteristics of this invention are as follows: This is a livestock bedding material made by humidifying and granulating shredded and crushed waste paper into cotton-like particles, most of which have a particle size of 6 to 10 m.7 These livestock bedding materials are specifically: It is manufactured as follows.

After that, it is sieved to remove fine powder of about 10μ or less, and water is sprayed and humidified on the sieve to remove moisture. It is supported in a range of about 1 to 10% by volume.

果を与える。Next, the soft material is crushed in a granulator to form soft and porous cotton particles with most particle sizes ranging from 6 to 10 m111. As a means of increasing the stability of the flocculent particles, some binder such as cellulose-based carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl sesame, hydroxyethyl cellulose, or water-soluble polymer polyvinyl alcohol is added to the water to be humidified. % gives more favorable results.

その取替量は約１／２ですむことが判明している。The bedding material for breeding stock of the present invention is a granulated material that absorbs moisture appropriately, so it is suitable as a bedding material for stables, and has been used on a trial basis especially for breeding racehorses, which require strict management. As a result, they achieved extremely good results. In other words, because there is no dust, horses often suffer from bronchitis and otitis media, and because the hooves of racehorses are provided with appropriate humidity, their hooves do not crack due to dryness. Even if it is in a water-containing state as mentioned above, it has a high saturated water absorption rate and has the ability to retain and absorb sufficient water, so it does not cause urine to pool or flow when the horse urinates. , it is possible to replace only the wet parts. Normally, according to measurement results, it has about twice the water absorption capacity of rice straw.
It has been found that the amount of replacement can be reduced to about 1/2.

きる効果も得られる。In addition, since the material is mainly pulp such as waste paper, it is possible to create a soft and warm bed, and unlike rice straw and dried grass, it can be mass-produced in factories regardless of the season or natural condition, so it is stable and inexpensive. There is an effect that can be supplied. In addition, since the used bedding material is made of vegetable fibers, it can be reused as high-quality compost.

以下実施例によって、本発明の家蓄用敷床材について更
に具体的に説明する。Hereinafter, the household flooring material of the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples.

実施例 新聞故紙を裁断機で約５駆幅に細かく切断し、その糸状
物を開綿機で綿状にほぐし、ふるいＫかけて約１０μ以
下の微粉を取去った。Example Newspaper waste paper was cut into pieces of about 5 mm width using a cutting machine, and the filamentous material was loosened into cotton-like pieces using a cotton spreader, and then passed through a sieve K to remove fine particles of about 10 μm or less.

得られた故紙裁断物の１ｄ当りの重量は約３５即であり

、平均粒子径が約３〜１０ｍの綿状粒子に仕上げた。The weight of the obtained waste paper shreds per 1 d is about 35 kg, and the average particle size is determined by spraying 17 KII of water containing 0.5% methyl cellulose to uniformly moisten the waste paper and applying it to a granulator. The particles were finished into flocculent particles with a diameter of about 3 to 10 m.

替回数をテストした。The use test was conducted in a racehorse stable as follows. That is, the bedding material of the present invention and conventional rice straw are spread separately on a floor area of 10 m'' of a stable, and each racehorse is kept there to check the formation and removal of urine pools. We tested the amount of replacement and the number of replacements.

敷床材の物性とテスト結果を第１表に示す。Table 1 shows the physical properties and test results of the bedding material.

４即である。Table 1 The amount of actual flooring material used was 45 kg per horse in 10 stables at the beginning, and the operation was repeated approximately 6 times by replenishing and replacing approximately 20 kg every 10 days. Regarding rice straw, the amount of replacement varies from person to person, but it is approximately 2.5-2.5 times per day.
4 Immediately.
