CONT

C'est facile de recueillir l'urine animale si les animaux passent le plus gros de leur temps dans un espace réduit comme un enclos ou un abri. Il vous suffit de répandre de l'herbe sèche, de la paille hachée, des feuilles sèches, ou même de la terre propre et sèche par terre pour absorber l'urine. La paille hachée absorbe davantage d'urine que la paille qui ne l'est pas.

CONT

Dans le cadre d'une expérience, les déperditions de chaleur de neuf surfaces de repos différentes (litière sur plan incliné, matelas de paille, paille hachée, copeaux/sciure, matelas souples, tapis en caoutchouc, sable, béton) ont été relevées, puis comparées.
