The effect of the addition of cellulose on the quality and thermal properties of straw bedding
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 8
Abstract
The objective of the study was to determine the effect of the addition of recycled cellulose on the quality and temperature of the straw bedding. Starting from week 2 of the production cycle temperatures were registered and the degree of encrustation of both the cellulose and straw bedding was determined. The cellulose bedding was characterized by higher temperatures throughout the production cycle except for weeks 10., 12., 13. and 14. The warmer bedding meant that the appearing encrustation did not restrict the diffusion of vapour and gases. It exhibited more beneficial, aerobic conditions for exothermic processes. The narrower span of temperatures indicates a more uniform temperature of the cellulose bedding. The flock reared on the warmer and better-quality cellulose bedding reached higher final body weight.<br/><br/>
