<p>An animal bedding composition and method of manufacture includes cut or shredded pieces of multiple panel corrugated cardboard kraft paper structures having an internal corrugated panel (Fig. 2) sandwiched between outer panels, and an adsorptive deodorizing ion exchange agent such as a zeolite (25. Fig. 2) dispersed throughout the cardboard pieces and carried on outer and inner surfaces of the pieces of cardboard and on outer and inner surfaces of the corrugations to provide a comfortable, hygienic and deodorized floor covering for animal stalls. An automated method of manufacturing the animal bedding composition is also described (Fig. 1). The ion exchange agent attaches to surfaces of the corrugated cardboard which serves as a carrier to sanitize and deodorize a stall. The open structure of the cut (Fig. 3) corrugations provides mechanical load absorption, and a wicking action to aerate moisture from a stall.</p> |
