What are the main components of litter material?
Composition of litter material
Basic types of litter material 13592542641
In theory, all organic materials can be used to make litter material, but from the perspective of use efficiency and practical application results, materials with high carbon supply intensity, balanced and sustained carbon supply capacity, and good permeability and adsorption should generally be selected as the main raw materials, such as sawdust, rice bran, peat, and straw powder; at the same time, to ensure the progress and effect of biological fermentation during the litter material production process, other raw materials are often selected as auxiliary materials.
Litter material raw materials can be divided into different types according to different classification methods.
If divided by usage amount, they can be classified into main materials and auxiliary materials:
1. Main materials. As the name implies, these are the main raw materials for making litter material. Usually such raw materials account for more than 60% of the material ratio and are composed of one or several raw materials. Commonly used main materials include sawdust, peat, straw powder, peanut shells, and mushroom residue.
2. Auxiliary materials. These are mainly some raw materials used to adjust material moisture, pH, and permeability, composed of one or several raw materials. Usually such raw materials account for no more than 40% of the entire material ratio. Commonly used auxiliary materials include rice husk powder, wheat bran, oil cake, and cornmeal.
If divided by raw material properties, they can be classified into carbon-based raw materials, nitrogen-based raw materials, and conditioner-type raw materials:
1. Carbon-based raw materials. These refer to raw materials with high organic carbon content. Such raw materials are mostly used as the main materials of litter material, such as sawdust, rice husk, straw powder, peat, mushroom residue, furfural residue, etc.
2. Nitrogen-based raw materials. These usually refer to raw materials with high organic matter content and below, and are mostly used as auxiliary materials of litter material, such as fresh pig manure from pig farms, sugarcane filter mud from sugar mills in the south, and filter mud from breweries. Such raw materials are usually used to adjust the C/N ratio.
3. Conditioner-type raw materials. These mainly refer to raw materials used to adjust pH value, such as quicklime, gypsum, and dilute acid; sometimes raw materials for adjusting C/P such as superphosphate and phosphate rock powder are also classified as conditioners; in addition, they also include some energy conditioners, such as brown sugar or molasses. After adding such organic substances, the energy of the litter material mixture can be increased, causing beneficial microorganisms to surge to a huge population in a relatively short time, so it is also commonly known as a "starter".
