How to get started on shaving or saw dust litter
1. 7 days before starting, add big quantities of shaving or saw dust, to create at least a 20cm high litter. The purpose is to reach an already ready to work litter for Enzymes; do not clean the floor with any kind of disinfectant as it will kill enzymes.
2. During this first week daily add shaving or saw dust, take away the wet parts and the manure, by turning the litter upside down.
3. The eighth day, remove the wet parts and the manure and place all the litter in a corner of the box.
4. Take 150gr of ENZYMES CATALIZZATORE: use the first 50gr to distribute equally on the floor.
5. Spread half of the litter with a rake, and distribute equally an other 50gr on it.
6. Spread the remaining part of litter on the previous one and distribute the last 50gr.
7. Add new shaving or saw dust until reaching a 20cm high litter.
8. From now on, only take away the manure; never twist the litter.
9. Every third days for the first 5th times, add 150gr of enzymes and shaving or saw dust.
10.From this moment on it is fundamental that you arrive in 20 days to have a 25cm high pressed litter. Adding material now is very important, as the Enzymes will not work if the litter is too low: they cannot spread in the litter and work with the necessary degree of humidity. A low litter will get wet quickly and will last only a couple of months or so. In fact this type of litter must last (12/15 months) and absorb approximately 6000lt of urine. The material you will add will lengthen the litter’s lifetime and you will use less of it.
How to maintain the shaving or saw dust litter
1. Follow the enclosed table for the maintenance treatments. Spread 100gr of ENZYMES CATALIZZATORE every week. Consider that male horses tend to piss towards the centre while female horses tend to do it towards the sides. Consequently you must spread more enzymes where the litter is more dirty, without forgetting the other parts! If you notice higher quantities of ammonia, increase the treatments and quantities too, until a normal situation comes back. In very dry seasons you can dilute the enzymes in 30°C warm water to activate them more.
2. From now on you can start to save on the material used. You will use approximately 60% less material than you did before. Always remember that the litter must be dry and of the desired colour (light or dark). If you want a more whitish litter, the addition of shaving or saw dust must be divided in two or three times during the week, and not only once.
3. From now on never twist or move the litter but only take away the manure and even up the litter daily.
You must not use any kind of disinfectant, like creolin, lime or other products, on this type of litter. ENZYMES CATALIZZATORE is a natural disinfectant.
