It can reach saturation quickly, resulting in moist areas on the ground. ammonia and unpleasant odors can form as a result of the decomposition of organic waste. This can occur. High humidity and ammonia levels in the living environment. It can negatively affect air quality and cause irritation to the feet and skin of animals. This can lead to increased ventilation of the environment. In addition, the soiled or wet part of the existing bedding material should be cleaned. It is not always possible to easily separate it from the base, and therefore the base A large portion of it may need to be replaced together. This applies to both the base and the surface. It increases both consumption and maintenance and cleaning workload. Moisture and organic matter. Prolonged exposure to nutrient-rich areas can lead to the growth of bacteria and similar substances. It can create favorable conditions for the growth of microorganisms; also, some substrates floor insulation, odor control and post-use evaluation of various types It may be insufficient in terms of moisture. Therefore, effectively controlling the moisture... capable of being controlled, allowing the contaminated part to be easily removed from the environment, and 1. Alternative animal shelters that contribute to maintaining hygienic conditions in the living environment. They need bases. Description of the invention: The main purpose of the invention is to create a more hygienic, dry and controlled environment in animal housing areas. by creating a suitable environment, especially for high humidity, ammonia and bad odor formation. The aim is to reduce problems. Bentonite-based granular structure with sodium carbonate and active ingredients. The use of carbon in combination allows for the retention of liquids and the removal of contaminated material. so that it can separate from the surface by clumping together and the rest of the substrate can last longer. This ensures that they remain dry. Thus, in poultry houses, barns and similar shelters... Cleaning and bedding management are made easier. Thanks to this invention, it is possible to significantly reduce ambient humidity. The base Its ability to absorb liquid and moisture causes wet areas to form on the ground for a long time. This restricts access to shelter. This situation both improves the overall hygiene of the living area and... contributes to reducing the negative effects that may arise from high humidity. It provides. Another important advantage of the substrate is that it reduces the amount of ammonia and unpleasant odors that occur in the environment. It contributes to odor reduction, especially due to the porous structure of activated carbon. It helps to trap odor-causing substances while also keeping the mat dry. It supports limiting ammonia formation. As a result, closed A more suitable air environment can be achieved in animal shelters. Keeping ammonia and humidity levels low protects the animals' feet and the area in contact with the ground. It also helps reduce irritation and burns that can occur in skin areas. It provides this. At the same time, thanks to the environmental conditions becoming more stable... The need for continuous and intensive ventilation may decrease, and consequently, the fans may become less efficient. Working hours and electricity consumption can be reduced. 2. The invention, a substrate, creates an insulating layer on the ground, protecting it from the ground. This structure reduces the effect of temperature changes on the animal. also some insects and carriers can pass through the ground where animals are located By making it more difficult for them to reach the area, it helps reduce contact with the animals. The bedding can be kept dry and the soiled part can be easily removed from the area, also the formation of moist areas that are favorable for bacterial growth It restricts the spread of Salmonella and similar microorganisms. to reduce reproduction and maintain hygiene levels in the living environment a contribution is being made. Granular and grainy structure, especially suitable for poultry' natural scratching and mixing of the ground. It enables animals to perform their natural behaviors. Being able to maintain their behaviors helps reduce stress and improve living conditions. It contributes to its improvement. Furthermore, it is particularly important in traditional husk-type bedding. It also has an advantage in terms of reducing crop-related problems that can be seen in the early stages. It provides. Another advantage of the invention is that the used mat does not become completely waste, and as fertilizer or a material that can be used in fertilizer production It is possible to evaluate the bedding that is removed from the animal shelter. It can be re-evaluated and provides an additional benefit in terms of waste management. is provided. Detailed Description of the Invention: The invention is intended for use in housing environments for domestic and farm animals. The invention relates to a bentonite-based granulated animal litter developed for this purpose. The animal bedding used within this scope is primarily bentonite, sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃). 2 3 It consists of a mixture containing activated carbon. This composition... especially when laid on the ground in poultry houses, barns and similar animal shelters It is intended for use. 3 The main raw material for the invention is bentonite, which is found in nature. Bentonite is a liquid. a clay-based material that can absorb water and retain moisture when it comes into contact with it. It is a material. Within the scope of this invention, bentonite is used in a granulated form. Thanks to its granular structure, the product is distributed homogeneously on the ground where the animals are kept. It is designed to spread and come into contact with liquid and moisture during use. In the preparation of the invention, sodium carbonate and activated carbon are added to bentonite. In the current practice, approximately 2.6 kg of sodium carbonate and approximately 1 ton of bentonite are required. 2.6 kg of activated carbon is used. Sodium carbonate is applied to the substrate that comes into contact with the liquid. This contributes to clumping in the contaminated areas. In this way, the soiled areas... And the moistened section can form a structure separated from the rest of the substrate, and the word The subject matter can be more easily removed from the usage area of ​​the section. Thus Keep the unsoiled part of the mat dry and continue using the mat. The aim is to enable this. Activated carbon, due to its porous structure, is particularly suitable for this purpose. in the mixture to retain odor-producing components It is used. The micro-scale pores in the structure of activated carbon, It allows unwanted substances to remain on the surface. Thanks to this feature... occurs in living environments containing animal feces and other organic waste. This helps to reduce unpleasant odors that may occur. The invention of activated carbon... One of its primary functions is thus to eliminate odor in the animal's living environment. The goal is to monitor the level and support environmental hygiene. In the production of this invention, bentonite, sodium carbonate, and activated carbon are combined, and The resulting product is subjected to a drying process. As a result of drying... Bentonite, which can contain approximately 35% moisture in nature, has a moisture content of approximately 10%. It is reduced to this level. Thus, the base has been in use before it is even used. The amount of water present is reduced, and animal-derived liquid and moisture are removed during use. The aim is to make more effective use of the recruitment capacity. The prepared product will be used in the poultry house, barn or similar animal shelter. It is laid on the ground as a granular substrate layer. From animals 4. When urine and feces, as well as other fluids present in the environment, come into contact with the bedding, the word The liquids in question are absorbed and retained by the relevant area of ​​the substrate. Contact with liquid The contaminated part separates from the other dry parts thanks to the clumping of the contaminated part. Separation becomes easier. The contaminated part is removed from the environment by the user. While it can be removed, it can also be left on a dry substrate that is still usable. 5
