HORSES
HORSE STALLS
1.Strip stall completely leaving no trace of the old bedding. Do not use lime before installing Oz-Pet Animal Litter. Lime works against the odour removal ability of this product.
2. In a 3 metre x 4 metre stall start with 2 to 3 20kg bags on rubber mats or 3 to 4 20kg bags without rubber mats. In a 4 m x 4 m stall start with 3 to 4 bags on rubber mats or 4 to 5 bags without rubber mats.
3. Sprinkling water over the bedding in the beginning will make it fluff up immediately and will eliminate dust, but is not necessary as this will happen as it absorbs urine.
4. Do not remove the wet spots until the granulated new product expands into fluffy sawdust throughout the entire stall. Clean the stalls by removing the manure and mix the wet areas with the dry, making sure that you scrape to the floor in wet areas and bring in the dryer bedding from the outer edges of the stall mixing it well with the wetter bedding. The object is to have the dryer bedding draw the excess moisture from the wetter bedding until the entire stall reaches the desired moisture content. On average, this should take from one to two weeks. The desired moisture content is when the bedding feels quite damp to the touch but does not transfer into the knee of your blue jeans while kneeling in it.
5. At this time start removing the wet spots and replace with about 1/3 as much new bedding; or remove the wet spots daily and add a bag of fresh bedding each week or open up the wet spots and add fresh bedding. Whichever way you do this you must mix the entire stall completely to allow the new bedding to draw excess moisture from the wetter bedding.
6. Please note: If the odour does not disappear at this point, check the stall for dark or red spots. These spots are areas that have been over-saturated with urine for too long and must be removed immediately. These spots are usually the result of improper mixing and or not having enough bedding in the stall.
7. In summer heat, or in hot dry climates, because of excessive evaporation, or if the animal is not putting enough urine on the bedding to keep it damp, sprinkle water on the bedding as needed, mixing thoroughly to keep it damp. This will eliminate dust and odours.
