Abstract
Animal bedding materials are pre-mixed with a dry blend or a solution of a hydrolyzable metal salt using a mechanical mixer. Ammonia control is more uniform and pH is reduced. Further, pre-mixing improves worker safety due to dust and corrosive chemical reduction in the atmosphere of animal enclosures.
