<p>A stable for horses has walls (1) and a floor (2) on which there is a layer of rubber crumbs (3), the crumb size being 10-18 mm, the crumbs preferably being derived from rubber waste products such as old/waste vehicle tyres and other vehicle rubber parts. Liquid contamination sinks quickly through the layer and drains via a drain (4), leaving the bulk of the layer dry; solid contamination can readily be separated by forking with a fork with a suitable tine spacing. The layer may be periodically washed with disinfectant. For domestic use, e.g. for cats and dogs, a smaller crumb size may be preferable.</p> |
