P-14 Species and Character of Litter and its Present Situation

Abstract

Stock farmers use litter for livestock and ther excreta management. The litter includes straw, rice husks, sawdust, bark and sand. As the grain of sawdust is small, it keeps hold of a large quantity of water. So sawdust is suitable for the litter. But recently its price rises by the competition with FIT, so stock farmers must devise about the cost down of the litter.
