MATERIAL FOR TREATING EXCRETION OF PET

摘要

A material for treating the excretion of pets comprising a ground material originating in a plant as the major base component, wherein, concerning the water absorption percentage determined by the following measurement method, the water absorption percentage determined by the third measurement is larger than the water absorption percentage determined by the first measurement, the water absorption percentage determined by the third measurement is from 3 to 30% by weight and the specific gravity before the first measurement of the water absorption percentage is from 0.8 to 1.2. [Method of measuring water absorption percentage] Dried material for treating the excretion of pets is soaked in water at 25^oC for 3 seconds and the weight gain represented in accordance with the following formula is referred to as the water absorption percentage. In the second measurement and thereafter, the material for treating the excretion of pets is dried immediately after the measurement and then soaked in water at 25^oC for 3 seconds to thereby determine the water absorption percentage in the same manner as described above. Water absorption percentage (%)=[(weight of excretion-treating material after soaking - weight of excretion-treating material before soaking)/weight of excretion-treating material before soaking)]×100
