ABSTRACT:
A poultry litter is disclosed in two preferred embodiments: compacted peat in fragments ranging in nominal diameter from 1/8 of an inch to 11/2 inches, and compacted peat fragments combined with a conventional litter material such as wood shavings, with the peat accounting for at least ten percent of the mixture weight. In this latter case, the peat fragments preferably have nominal diameters no greater than 1/8 of an inch. Preferably the peat is of the reed sedge type, with a pH of from 3.5 to 4.5, and a moisture content of no more than fifty percent by weight. For enhanced capacity to absorb moisture and dust control, the peat fragments are provided with a coating of a feed grade petroleum based oil, vegetable oil or animal fat.
