Patent ID: 6991783

Claim:
An animal bedding composition for distribution within an animal stall consisting essentially of: (a) a carrier which is formed from a plurality of shredded recycled corrugated cardboard pieces, being formed of first and second parallel stock panels separated by internal stock fluting to form a plurality of air gaps between the first and second panels; and (b) a zeolite ion exchange agent in particulate form for adsorbing ammonia ions, said ion exchange agent mixed with the shredded corrugated cardboard pieces whereby the ion exchange agent is mechanically bonded on the inner and outer surfaces of the first and second panels and the surface of the internal stock fluting of the corrugated cardboard pieces, whereby said bedding provides mechanical cushioning and shock absorption to an animal housed in said stall and hydrodynamic wicking action to aerate and evaporate urine from the stall floor.
